Deadline Extended for Candidate Letters of Intent
Dear fellow Republicans:
It is with great personal regret that I announce Freeholder William C. Barham's decision not to seek re-election in 2008. Freeholder Barham inherited a role within a county wracked by scandal in the days preceding the federal investigations known as Operation Bid Rig.
Throughout all of the pain, recriminations, accusations, and distrust that resulted during this breakdown of our county government, Bill Barham never, ever lost his sunny optimism that Monmouth County is indeed the greatest place in New Jersey to live and work.
When the Republican Party fractured and splintered into competing interest groups following Chairman Neimann's decision not to seek re-election in 2006, Bill Barham encouraged all to stick together -- one Republican Party -- not a series of special interests.
Throughout my two years as Chairman, Bill Barham has proved supportive, encouraging, and optimistic that Republicans would persevere because we are the right party for Monmouth County. His faith in our party never wavered. And beyond partisan politics, Bill Barham loves Monmouth County, and sacrificed much to keep it moving forward.
I respectfully request that all Republicans take the opportunity to seek out Freeholder Barham, and say thank you for his service.
In light of this news, the deadline for submission of letters of intent for candidates seeking the Monmouth County Republican endorsement for all offices is extended to 5pm, Thursday, February 21.

Holy Crap Art. That email was sent at 11:49 and you have it up at 11:52? Do you have a real job?
And you posted at 12:02.
It's slow in my line of work right now. To bad Freeholder doesn't pay more. ;)
Now it's time for the other one to resign as chairman of the goon squad !!! The only thing they did well was bullying . When they are both history....good riddance.Would have enjoyed seeing him get his lumps at the polls . Bet you're enjoying this too Art.

I would not have enjoyed that.
Bill made the right decision, for the party, the county, himself and his family.
Bet you're enjoying this too Art.
I'm cautiously optimistic (cloudy optimism?) for the future of the county party, and I hope Adam steps down to run the Kyrillos for US Senate campaign.
Monmouth County will be far better off when the voters vote for the person not the party.When honesty,integrity,and the value of your fellow man counts for something,we will have healthier government.Republican or Democrat is only a difference in philosphy.Thank god this is a democracy and we all can make CHOICES!!!
the challenge for adam puharic is that he is politically ignorant and immature. the challenge for the rest of us is that ignorant and immature people are blissfully unaware of it - leaving other folks to mop it up.
Doesn't this seem strange that he waited this long to pull the trigger on this. It seems like this is something that would be helpful to Kyrillos as well.
Jim Purcell mentioned Joe DiBella, the Mayor of Howell. However, my sources say that Joe has no interest in running for freeholder.
If Dibella entered the race he'd likely clear the field. Many who opposed him in the past (because he was close to Fred) realize the draedful mistake they made. He is still the best shot we have to energize the party and win in the Fall. Hope the guy gets in the mix.
I made some calls and Dibella has sent an email to the chairman expressing his interest as a candidate, so he's in.
Howellanche, anyone?
when they voted against DiBella before, they ended up with Andrew Lucas. Do you really think they're going to make that kind of mistake again? Who would you rather have, DiBella, or the worst candidate the Republicans have put up in the last thirty years?
