Solomeno First To Throw His Hat In The Ring For Dems In Monmouth County Freeholders Race

Hazlet Resident Vincent Solomeno, has become the first Monmouth County Democrat to officiall announce his intentions to seek the Party nod to run along side Freeholder John D'Amico.

Solomeno made his announcement with a brief posting on his Facebook page that simply stated "Vincent Solomeno is running for monmouth county freeholder." this afternoon after posting earlier in the week that he had a big announcement to make on Friday.

Last night he posted the following Youtube video:



For those of you who do not know Vincent, he was named one of “50 Rising Stars in New Jersey Politics” by Politicker New Jersey, he has managed or worked on local, state, and national campaigns. He has worked for Congressman Frank Pallone.

In 2006, Vincent became a Truman Scholar and in 2007, he was selected as a J. William Fulbright Scholar to the Netherlands where he earned a Master of Arts in European Studies at the University of Amsterdam. A Distinguished Military Graduate (DMG), he is a Second Lieutenant in the United States Army Reserve and is training to become a Combat Engineer.

So when Vincent has an opinion about something it's worth listening to, he is not some loony liberal trying to push mandates down our throats. He is an extremely intelligent and distinguished member of the Monmouth County community who's thoughts and ideas should be considered.

Vincent definitely has what it takes to clean up the office of Freeholder. We need a man with his brains and ambition to make our county run more efficiently. He's got my vote.

As a republican ... I am very interested in this development and hope he is able to run a good campaign. If he is not a "loony liberal", then I would recommend downplaying relationship to Pallone.

Why should he downplay his relationship with Pallone? Pallone has represented his district honorable for over 20 years, just because Republicans in Middletown don't like him is no reason for Solomeno to steer clear of him.

Pallone has done much for the environment and our beaches and has brought a lot of money to his district and I happen to think it is great that after 20 years Pallone has enough clout in Washington to become more vocal on issues that are important and effect our area.

Vinny has what it takes to be a candidate. Firstly, he has a conscience, Secondly he has the time to give it his all. I believe he would be fair and open minded to all the people, no matter what their political preference would be. We need a hard worker for Monmouth County and someone who genuinely cares. I wish him the best of luck. He deserves to win.
