Cape May County Republicans endorsed the Assembly ticket of Michael John Donohue and Frank Conrad March 4.
Donohue, of Dennis Township, won Cape May County in the 2007 Assembly election. Conrad, a two- term member of the Upper Township governing body, is making his first run for state office.
“The quest to take back the 1st District and restore fiscal sanity to state government starts right here, today, in Cape May County,” Donohue said. “I’m excited to be running with Frank Conrad.  We are all experienced small businessmen raising children in South Jersey who know the incredible, negative forces that flow out of Trenton.
“Together, Frank Conrad and I will fight to return New Jersey to the conservative principles that made this country great: Small government, low taxes and personal economic initiative,” Donohue said.  “We will fight to end the Council On Affordable Housing and the DEP as we know them and replace them with rational, job-friendly agencies. The people of New Jersey have had it with Jon Corzine and his friends in Trenton and are demanding change.  Well, change is coming.”
“The problem with New Jersey is not a lack of tax revenue,” Conrad said.  “The problem is a lack of leadership.  We must elect people who are willing to make the difficult decisions to restore New Jersey’s economy so that we may create a bright future for ourselves and our children.  I am looking forward to running with Mike Donohue and to joining the fight to take back South Jersey.”
