Congressman Chris Smith Endorses Trump and Local Candidates for Jackson Township Council

U.S. Congressman Chris Smith, one of only two Republicans representing New Jersey in Congress, has endorsed former President Donald Trump in the upcoming November election. Smith, who had previously put aside his differences with Trump, previously made his support clear during a rally in Wildwood, New Jersey.

Smith has also thrown his support behind Republican candidates running for Jackson Township Council on Column L of the ballot, including Councilmen Nino Borrelli, Mordy Burnstein, and Jackson School Board President Giuseppe Palmeri.

Smith praised the candidates, saying, “Councilmen Nino Borrelli and Mordy Burnstein and School Board President Giuseppe Palmeri are three proven public servants dedicated to providing the best services for Jackson residents.” He highlighted their support for local law enforcement, enhanced senior services, and securing state funding for schools.

The Republican candidates face challenges from Democrat Hope Drew, husband-and-wife team Eric and Elenor Hannum, and newcomer Amanda Trombetta. The election has garnered attention due to legal disputes involving the challengers. Hannum has filed a $500,000 lawsuit against the township, accusing Council President Jennifer Kuhn and Township Attorney Gregory McGucking of violating her civil rights.

The Column L Republican candidates have also received endorsements from key GOP figures in District 12, including Senator Owen Henry, Assemblyman Alex Sauickie, and Assemblyman Rob Clifton.

In response to the endorsements, the team said, “We are honored to have the support of Republican leaders… We will never stop fighting for Jackson!”
