BurlCo GOP Move HQ to Medford
After 50 years on High St., Mount Holly Burlington County Republicans no longer have a headquarters there. Moved to Medford today. Pinelands Plaza on Stokes Road (next to Papa John’s).
Moving out of the county seat highlights the party’s fall from power, a source cackled.
223 High street (pictured) was their HQ since 1971 when High Street Realty, an LLC controlled by GOP bosses, purchased the building from Albert Jones a former GOP Freeholder. Jones at one time lived in the building, which also housed his engineering firm. In addition to the County GOP headquarters and various law offices, the building was once the 8th District Legislative office to many lawmakers, including then-state Senator Jim Saxon. When the building was purchased out from under the GOP in 2019 by operative Jason Carty, the Republicans moved next door to a former law office. Today marks the end of 50 years on High Street for the BurlCo GOP.

Hurley: Swift has Raised More than $75K
LD2 Republican Claire Swift is poised to post the strongest 29-day pre-primary filing for a non-incumbent in New Jersey LD2 history, according to Harry Hurley.
In only two months, Swift has raised more than $75,000 from over 180 individual donors.
From the internal memo from LD2:
Claire Swift’s early fundraising numbers have outpaced every non-incumbent who has ever sought this seat. In the first public showing of candidate viability, she will post the strongest 29-day pre-primary filing for a non-incumbent in LD2 history.
In just two months, she has raised more than $75,000 from over 180 individual donors.
Swift has already raised more funds than the 2019 Republican runner-up (who lost by 958 votes) raised individually in one year.
Swift’s grassroots support is evident with donors contributing everything from $5 to a maximum investment in the campaign at $2,600. Republicans are heavily motivated to elect a strong, independent voice to fight for the hardworking families of Atlantic County and they have nominated Claire Swift to be that champion.
