ELIZABETH, NJ, JUNE 20, 2024 – In a decisive and momentous election, Carlos Santos emerged victorious over incumbent Glenn Mortimer, securing his position as the new Union County Republican Chair at the reorganization meeting held on June 17. Santos garnered a resounding 242 votes against Mortimer’s 145, signaling a new era of leadership and revitalized energy within the Union County Republican Party.

A Vision for the Future

Carlos Santos, a dedicated leader with a proven track record of advancing Republican values, expressed profound gratitude and outlined his vision for the future:

“I am deeply honored and humbled to be elected as the Chairman of the Union County Republican Committee. First and foremost, I extend our heartfelt gratitude to Glenn Mortimer for his ten years of service as Union County Chairman.

“I have the deepest appreciation to every Republican committee member in our organization. Their dedication, perseverance, and unwavering belief in our shared values made this monumental victory possible.

“It was truly remarkable to see the overwhelming number of new Republicans eager to get involved and participate in our process. I am confident that we are going to accomplish much together.

“I am very grateful for the part that so many volunteers had for this success – whether it was making phone calls, participating in our new recruitment efforts, knocking on hundreds of doors, giving rides to those that needed it, or simply showing up for a cause we believe in.”

Family and Community at the Core

Married and a father to four daughters, Carlos embodies family values and unity, which are central to his leadership approach. “Family and community are the pillars of my life and leadership. I am committed to fostering a sense of unity among all twenty-one towns in Union County,” says Santos. His inclusive approach welcomes individuals from diverse backgrounds into the Republican Party.

Revitalizing and Unifying

Through his commitment to diversity and inclusion, Carlos has revitalized Republican committees in communities such as Elizabeth, Linden, and Union. His leadership style emphasizes effective communication, collaboration, and grassroots organizing to promote conservative ideals. “Through diversity and inclusion, we can ensure every voice in Union County is heard and respected,” Santos adds.

Empowering Local Communities

Carlos is dedicated to ensuring equal representation for all and promoting each town’s ability to lead. He believes in empowering local communities, allowing them to operate in their own way. “I understand the importance of support and guidance. I will not overstep, but I will always be just a phone call away with support and advice,” assures Santos.

Action Plan for a Stronger Party

Carlos has outlined a comprehensive action plan to grow the Union County Republican Party to its full potential:

• Be a voice for all residents of Union County
• Welcome ideas from all members
• Provide superior training
• Ensure financial transparency of the County Republican Committee
• Ensure equal representation for all twenty-one municipalities
• Win elections
• Empower grassroots efforts

A Commitment to Change

Carlos decided to run for chairman out of a desire to strengthen the party and energize its members. “I was tired of watching our party concede more ground to the Democrats,” says Santos. “There has been a lack of training and support for candidates, and a lack of representation for all 21 towns. I want to build a stronger, more energized party and turn this state around, starting locally.”

Leveraging Technology for Success

Utilizing VoterMaker, an innovative outreach application, Carlos effectively communicated his vision of uniting and strengthening the Union Republican organization. “Moving forward, the Union County Republican Organization remains committed to leveraging technology to enhance our electoral advantage,” Santos explains.

A Call to Action

“The Chairman’s race may be finalized, but our work has only just begun. We must pull together, strengthen our bonds, and work collaboratively to achieve our common goals. Together, we can build a stronger, more vibrant, and more effective Republican Party in Union County,” Santos concluded.
