The latest attacks by Jose Arango, titular Chair of the Hudson County Republican Party, and his political retainers targeting me is demonstrable evidence of why it is imperative political bad actors, like him, are driven from the GOP. Instead of growing the party and supporting Republican candidates, Arango and his minion’s attack those, such as myself, who do. He does this to preserve his de facto job working for the county Democrats.

As an NJ State Republican Committeeman I had high hopes for the state GOP Chairmanship of Doug Steinhardt. I was elected the same time as Steinhardt was “supposed” to be coronated chairman as he was then GOP gubernatorial candidate Kim Guadagno’s pick for the position (his selection to the position was postponed to avoid the appearance of impropriety as his wife had recently been appointed to the state parole board). Roughly half a year later Steinhardt was made chair and I was thrilled to have what seemed to be an energetic state GOP party leader at the steering wheel. I believed Steinhardt would lead from the front, grow the party, support draining the swamp, and most of all – I did not see him trying to turn the party into a personal political fiefdom. I was wrong – Doug Steinhardt’s tenure as GOP State Chairman has been a failure. I do not presume to speak for all the grassroots, Trump lovers, those activists who came of political age during the Tea Party movement (all of which I am a part) or any of the many other partners that make up the coalition that is the Republican Party in New Jersey. I can only address what I have seen firsthand and that has been one unforced error and disaster after another led by a glad-handing man I once had high hopes for.
