Buono For Governor Picks Up Two More Endorsements

Yesterday it was announced  that Congressman Frank Pallone (D-6) will be endorsing Sen. Barbara Buono's campaign for governor (an official announcement will be made either Monday or Tuesday).

Today, Buono has picked up the backing of the Ocean County Democrats and it's Chairman Wyatt Earp at their County Committee meeting in Toms River this morning.

Earp stated:

"As a former Budget chair, Barbara Buono has the experience to turn New Jersey’s economy around, while protecting investments we need in education and infrastructure. New Jersey, it’s time to fix the NJ economy and rebuild. We have the opportunity to elect the first Democratic woman governor in the history of New Jersey. We here in Ocean County look forward to working hard for her not just now, but also going forward."

The endorsement of Buono by the Ocean County Dems should not come as a big surprise. Chairman Earp was in attendance on January 18th when Sen. Buono accepted the endorsement of the Monmouth County Democrats at the I.B.E.W. Local 400 union hall in Wall Township. Earp and Monmouth County's chairman Vin Gopal, have been working closely together for well over a year, to create synergy between the two organizations, with the goal to turn these two "Red" counties back into the "Blue" counties they once were .
