Parsippany, NJ – Today, Carlos Rendo , the nominee for Lieutenant Governor of New Jersey in the 2017 gubernatorial election as the running mate of incumbent Lieutenant Governor Kim Guadagno and the Mayor of Woodcliff Lake withdrew his endorsement of Donald Dinsmore, a candidate for Freeholder in Morris County.

Rendo stated “Dinsmore called me and asked if I would endorse him. He told me he was running for an open Freeholder seat in Morris County. However, after finding out this was not the truth and knowing this is a primary against a very strong incumbent team I decided to withdraw my endorsement and stand with Doug, Tom and Kathy for Republican party unity and to continue delivering for the tax payers of Morris County and New Jersey. The last thing the Republican party needs is a primary in Morris County especially after losing two congressional seats and a number of local republican seats to democrats over the last few years “.

Marie Fragomeni, President of the Boonton Republican Club said “Don Dinsmore asked me to sign his petition but did not tell me he was using my signature as an endorsement . That was not fair and not honest. Doug Cabana, Tom Mastrangelo and Kathy DeFillipo are running for Freeholder as a team in 2019 and I whole heartedly support them for Freeholder and will work for them to insure they get elected. Morris County is a great county and it is because of their hard work. After last year’s performance by republicans, Morris County does not need a primary this year especially against 3 fine public servants.”

Randolph Councilman Lance Tkacs said “When Don asked me to support him I believed that Don was running for an open Freeholder seat. When I found out that was not an accurate and Doug, Tom and Kathy were running for re-election, I quickly endorsed them and withdrew my support of Don. Doug Tom and Kathy have been a solid team for Morris County.”

Guy Piserchia, current Deputy Mayor and former Mayor of Long Hill Township, Matt Nunn, former Deputy Mayor and Councilman in Morris Township, and Charles Germershausen, Councilman of Florham Park also decided to endorse the 3 incumbents for similar reasons.

Freeholders Doug Cabana, Tom Mastrangelo and Kathy DeFillippo have been Endorsed County Wide by over 110 Republican Mayors, Town Council and Committee Members.
