Red Bank Councilman is upbeat about his prospects of passing the screening committee and being able to present his Freeholder candidacy to the county committee convention on March 26.
"I've been getting a lot of positive feedback and encouragement," said Curley, "Adam Puharic has been a gentleman and seems impressed that I have been elected twice in a Democratic town."
Curley, is seeking to be Freeholder Director Lillian Burry's running mate. Serena DiMaso and Eileen Kean have also submitted letters of intent to run. Curley thinks the committee will think twice about running two women for Freeholder and that his gender will might him get the nomination. But he's not taking anything for granted. He mailed a letter and resume to all municipal chairs and held a meet and greet for chairs this week in Sea Bright.
Curley acknowledged concerns about the fact that he has switched partys in the past. "I'm a Republican, philosphically and practically." He said he ran his first race in Red Bank as a Democrat because he wanted to contribute to his town and that there was no Republican team in Red Bank at the time. "Ed McKenna's Democrats didn't support me in that first race. I worked hard and knocked on every door in town."
The deadline for candidates to submit a letter of intent is today at 5pm. The screening committee meets on Saturday morning.

We should be past the two women shouldn't run together stuff. That no longer makes a difference.
Who is Eileen Kean?
