Clear Victory as

Earp, Harrison, and Team Re-Elected as

Ocean County Democratic Committee Leaders

A record number of Ocean County Committee men and women came out last night to give a vote of confidence to the re-election of County Chair Wyatt Earp, Vice-Chair Marta Harrison and their team including Tim Ryan as Corresponding Secretary, Joanne Sitek as Recording Secretary and Nick Montenegro as Treasurer. Sal Martino presided over the meeting at the Toms River Quality Inn as Parliamentarian while Paul Brush assumed the role of Sergeant at Arms.

Chairman Earp encouraged the standing-room only crowd to recommit, re-energize and reunite the Democratic Party in Ocean County. Recognizing the many new members, Earp urged, "We want you to stay involved by being part of the effort to strengthen ourselves. Everyone's contribution has value, and it helps us improve." He added, "Thank you for this great opportunity to continue the efforts that Marta and our leadership team have begun. We are honored for your vote of confidence and look forward to your continued engagement."
