DEWEESE ENDORSED BY LOCAL GOP TO FACE VAN DREW

It will likely be David DeWeese vs. Jeff Van Drew at the top of this year’s ticket. DeWeese won the endorsement of the Cape May County Republican Party to run against Van Drew this fall. Suzanne Walters and Sam Fiocchi won the endorsement to run for Assembly. Petitions must be filed by Monday. DeWeese is a former municipal judge and is an attorney. Walters and Fiocchi are elected officials. Walters is the mayor of Stone Harbor and Fiocchi is a freeholder in Cumberland County. They will have to make it past a June primary before they become official. Other candidates have the right to file on Monday to run against them.
