Multiple County Chairs Call On Hirsh Singh To Immediately Suspend His Campaign

Hirsh Singh continues to defend his reckless behavior

HADDON HEIGHTS – Last week multiple Republican county chairs condemned US Senate candidate Hirsh Singh after a mailer that encouraged registered Republicans to commit voter fraud was sent by his campaign. Today Camden County Chairman Rich Ambrosino, Essex County Chairman Al Barlas, Middlesex County Chairwoman Lucille Panos, Union County Chairman Glenn Mortimer, Gloucester County Chairwoman Jacci Vigilante, Hunterdon County Chairman Pat Torpey and Burlington County Chairman Sean Earlen issued the following statement:

“Given the fact that for two days after multiple county chairs called on Hirsh Singh to ‘immediately cease all attempts at confusing voters’ his mailer continued to land in mailboxes. Since Singh and his supporters continue to defend the misleading mailer on social media it is obvious he has no intention of stopping his reckless behavior. It is our duty, as elected Republican party leaders, to put a stop to that reckless behavior.

“We agree with what NJGOP Chairman Doug Steinhardt said on May 15, ‘voter fraud anywhere is a threat to our election’s legitimacy everywhere.’ As such, if we, as a party, are going to call out potential voter fraud on the Democrat side of the aisle we better do a damn good job at policing ourselves.

“Being a county chair isn’t always easy. This past Friday Salem County Chairwoman Linda DuBois made the tough choice to call on Hirsh Singh to suspend his campaign. Unfortunately, because encouraging voter fraud is an inexcusable offense by any candidate and Hirsh Singh continues to defend his reckless behavior he has forced us to make a difficult decision. We join Salem County Chairwoman Linda DuBois in calling on Singh to immediately suspend his campaign. We are hopeful other chairs will join us.”
