Two Sussex County Democrats announced a joint election campaign for county commissioner seats in the latest effort to bring bipartisanship to the board that has been run by Republicans for the past two decades.
Scott Paul of Andover Township and Mike Vrabel of Sparta announced their candidacy over the weekend via a post on the Vrabel and Paul for Sussex County Commissioner Facebook page. We are ready to roll up our sleeves and get to work. Sussex County, let’s do this! read the post.
Vrabel and Paul released their three key initiatives for the race: support small businesses, ensure fiscal responsibility, and equal representation for all county residents regardless of background.
Wednesday s meeting agenda included Fantasia s resolution. She set aside time to discuss the dueling resolutions.
Twenty-six people addressed the resolutions during the public speaking session. Speakers related personal stories of prejudice and all but one supported the initial resolution presented by the Sussex County Democratic Committee. The lone objector identified himself as David Morovich of Vernon, and accused those supporting the initial resolution as being from outside, and blamed Democrats for supporting cancel culture. They hate religion, he said. According to the roster of speakers, just one of the speakers was from outside Sussex County. It s sad how (this) has become a partisan issue, said Josh Hertzberg, who resigned from the county board in December after he won a seat on the Sparta Township Council.
