In his letter to Scudiery, Solomeno said,
Since our meeting last November, I’ve visited with elected officials, party leaders, and private citizens to hear their ideas and concerns. They share my belief that we can regain our majority on the Freeholder Board through an energetic grassroots campaign that focuses on stabilizing property taxes, preserving open space, and aggressively pursuing opportunities to bring new businesses – and the jobs that come with them – to Monmouth County.
In communities from Matawan to Brielle and Allentown to Oceanport, I’m consistently hearing that people have lost faith in government’s ability to solve the public policy challenges that grow more pressing with each passing day. I am seeking the nomination for Freeholder because I believe we can do better. We can restore trust in government by continuing the change begun in 2009 and demonstrating through our actions, not just our words, that Monmouth Democrats are serious about reforming the way Freehold does business.
I am optimistic about the future of Monmouth County and it will be my honor to be part of an effort that translates that optimism into real results.

The death knell for his campaign - he worked for Frank Pallone.
He sounds more like Rob Clifton than John D'Amico.
pretty impressive for 24..all we hear is, it's still gonna be D'Amico and Byrnes, who's been nowhere,vs. Clifton and ???.. interesting..maybe they're waiting to see if Brown wins in Mass., then Dems'll likely be having an all-around crappy year..(hope,hope!)
impressive background but no chance in hell Caliendo and Gopal won't support Byrnes, which will essentially means the kid has 0% chance.
hey, Vincent, how's about comin' over to the side you ought to be on?.. join the YR's and come to Affiliated, you seem like someone we'd love to promote..
