Said Chairman Zisa, “I’m very excited to see so many Republicans stepping up to be candidates in the 2024 election. After suffering through the radical progressive administrations of Joe Biden and Phil Murphy, whose policies have trickled down to Bergen County government, we believe voters are ready for a change to leaders who put America’s middle class ahead of criminals, illegal aliens and far-left progressive causes.”

The nominating convention is Tuesday, March 19 at the Hasbrouck Heights VFW, where county committee members and Republican elected officials will vote for the candidates of their choosing. Winners will be awarded the Bergen County column and slogan.
