TOMS RIVER, NJ – The Ocean County branch of the Donald J. Trump-aligned “America First” Republican organization is running for office in this June’s primary election.
At the top of the ballot, Mike Crispi, a former Right Side Broadcasting Network podcaster, is challenging 42-year congressional incumbent Chris Smith. Crispi has aligned himself with Roger Stone, former President Donald J. Trump’s 2016 campaign advisor.
Last year, Trump issued an open challenge to Chris Smith, encouraging a primary election. This year, Crispi answered that call.
On April 4, 2021, the America First Republican candidates, Ashley Lamb and Sergio A. Fossa, submitted nearly 600 signatures, officially placing them on the ballot for Ocean County Commissioner in the upcoming Republican Primary this June 7th.
The America First Republican slate is being endorsed by Roger Stone, special advisor to former President Donald J. Trump and Ronald Reagan.
Ashley Lamb, an elected member of the Toms River Board of Education, who fought tirelessly to unmask the students in our schools and maintain a balanced budget, is challenging Haines over election security and her plan of building a permanent homeless shelter in Toms River.
“Election integrity is the most important issue we face in Ocean County – Just prior to the November election, in a typical pay-to-play move, my opponent lobbied hard for the purchase of new voting machines by Dominion Voting Systems, a frequent campaign contributor to the Ocean County GOP machine,” Lamb said. “On Election Day, Ginny Haines and her Democratic allies in Brick failed to ensure basic security measures were taken to protect our mail-in ballots at the drop box. The Brick Republican candidate was just under 100 votes away from victory on Election Day only to find out the following day dozens of mail-in ballots mysteriously appeared in the box. More alarming, when faced with a lawsuit, Haines and her Democrat cohorts claimed the video surveillance footage was lost.”
Sergio A. Fossa, a Pastor, and father of four children who is also running for county commissioner said, “We need new leadership from the bottom up that stands for limited government, reduced taxes, election integrity, and religious liberty. We’ve got too many of the same old, stale, establishment Republicans who acquiesce to the left. We need to push back, similar to the way former President Donald J. Trump did upon entering the fray.”
The America First Republican team in Ocean County is hoping they can defeat the Ocean County GOP establishment candidates on June 7th.
