Three Red Bank Candidates File Ballot Petitions Zipprich, Lee and Horgan will appear in Democratic Column

For Immediate Release:

Democratic candidates from Red Bank will be running together again after yesterday’s Election filing deadline.

The Red Bank Democratic Organization announced that petitions were filed with the Division of Elections in Trenton by Councilman Ed Zipprich to seek an Assembly seat in the 11th Legislative District and by Councilwomen Sharon Lee and Kathy Horgan for re-election to the Borough council.

Councilman Zipprich received his party’s nomination at the Monmouth County Democratic convention in late February. Councilwomen Lee and Horgan received their nominations at the Red Bank Democratic nominating convention last month.

Councilwoman Sharon Lee of East Westside Avenue is seeking her fourth term on the governing body and Councilwoman Kathleen Horgan of Branch Avenue is seeking her third term.

Lee states that “running again with Councilwoman Horgan reinforces my lifelong commitment to serving Red Bank. We are working together with our Council colleagues for the betterment of our town.” Horgan says “I am excited to campaign again with Sharon. Our community has recognized our hard work in trying economic times and realizes that Red Bank continues to prosper under Democratic leadership.”

Zipprich of River Road is running with Neptune Township Committeemen Kevin McMillan for the General Assembly seat and Dr. Michael “Doc” Brantley for Senate.

“It is exciting to again be running with Sharon and Kathy on the same ballot” said Zipprich “and Kevin and Doc bring similar strengths to the ticket, making our entire team more committed to revitalizing our economy and doing the hard work for our constituents, many of whom are still recovering from Sandy in the district’s area.”

Lee, Horgan and Zipprich first ran together for Council in 2007. McMillan and Brantley are both former Mayors of Neptune Township.

All of these candidates will appear on the June 4th Primary Election ballot along with other Monmouth County Democrats seeking election as Freeholder and Sheriff.
