DAVIS CONGRATULATES GATTO & KERN ON HISTORIC DAY
Selection of Amy Gatto is First Woman Chair of Atlantic County Freeholder Board

Atlantic County Republican Chairman Keith Davis issued the following statement concerning the selection of Amy Gatto to serve as Chair of the Atlantic County Board of Chosen Freeholders:
“With Freeholder Chair Amy Gatto and Vice Chair Maureen Kern being selected by their peers today in a unanimous bipartisan vote, Atlantic County has reached a historic milestone in helping crack the glass ceiling in New Jersey politics. The hurdles against women in running for office and obtaining leadership positions are significant, even though more than half of the electorate is female. Amy Gatto and Maureen Kern persevered and prevailed. It’s a proud day for Atlantic County and our party. But our efforts to encourage and support more women to run for office will never let up until the composition of our boards, councils and commissions is a true reflection of the voters they represent.”
