SOUTH PLAINFIELD — Yesterday, voters across Middlesex County made their voices heard at the polls, electing & reelecting Republicans to local seats, and setting a historical precedent bringing President-elect Trump within single digits of winning the county, a feat not done for over 20 years.

I am proud of our 2024 Republican candidates that have tirelessly knocked doors, made calls, and earned the trust of the voters in their communities throughout the county,” said Middlesex County Republican Organization Chairman Robert Bengivenga Jr. “We salute our candidates who put themselves on the ballot and came up short, we recognize you all for your courage and conviction to run for office to make your communities a better place and give people a choice this November.”

“The Executive Board and I are proud of the hard work all our candidates, commiteemembers, and volunteers put into this election. We look forward to even more successful efforts in 2025 with the election of a Republican Governor, state legislature, and local races.”
