TOMS RIVER, NJ – Toms River Mayor Maurice Hill this week endorsed the Ocean County Republican candidates of ‘Row B’ in Tuesday’s election. Echoing the calls of Agudath Israel of America’s New Jersey Director, Avi Schnall, Hill described Tuesday’s election as a critical one for Ocean County.

“This is a critical election for both the Republican Party and Ocean County,” Hill said.

Hill’s statement echoes the words of Schnall, who recently also called this year’s primary’s one of the most important elections and called upon everyone to vote on Tuesday.

“It is crucial that every member of the community is registered to vote,” Schnall said. “There are going to be many critical, crucial elections coming up in the very near future and it is extremely important that everybody, men and women, all are registered to vote in the next upcoming election.”

While Hill called for a vote for ‘Row B’, there is no ‘Row B’ on the ballot in Ocean County. Ballots are broken down into columns.

In column, A the Trump-aligned America First team under congressional candidate Mike Crispi is competing against the GOP establishment-backed team under 40-year politician Chris Smith.

Smith is expected to sail into victory Tuesday after receiving the coveted endorsement by the Lakewood VAAD, all but guaranteeing the bloc vote of the large and growing Orthodox Jewish population in Ocean County.
