The Hudson County Republican Committee this morning announced that veteran strategist Hank Sheinkopf will join as an advisor to support Republican campaigns in key Hudson County races.

Sheinkopf will work closely with the county party to help lead Jack Ciattarelli’s gubernatorial efforts in Hudson County, advise Assembly Candidates in the 33rd Legislative District, and guide Sydney Ferreira’s grassroots campaign for Mayor of Kearny.

“This year in Hudson County, the Republican Party is prepared to win,” said Jose Arango, Chairman of the Hudson County Republican Committee (above). “Hank Sheinkopf brings decades of experience and a record of helping candidates win tough races. His partnership with us shows that the Hudson County GOP is serious about competing in the final stretch, and shocking the state with some big wins here at home.”

Hudson County Republicans have been steadily building momentum over the last several years, said Arango, "engaging more voters, expanding grassroots outreach, and fielding strong local candidates."

Towns like Union City, North Bergen, and Kearny made national news as President Donald Trump last year made strides among Hispanics and other working class communities.

With Sheinkopf’s support, the Hudson County GOP is also strategizing to make substantial gains in Bayonne and critical parts of Jersey City, Arango said.

"The Party is prepared to communicate a winning message and compete to win, focusing on hearing feedback from local constituents, discussing kitchen-table issues, and giving voters a real choice this November."
