For the first time ever, all local towns surrounding Lakewood announced a united endorsement – this time for Jack Ciattarelli for Governor.
In addition to the endorsing of the local elections of each town, the towns’ community leaders this election season got together to ensure there was a united voice emerging from the Ocean County towns with regards to their endorsement in the gubernatorial election.
TLS first reported last week that the Vaad – the oldest political council in the area – would be endorsing Ciattarelli.
It turned out the Councils in the other local towns – Jackson, Toms River, Howell and Manchester – also decided independently to endorse Ciattarelli, prompting the community leaders to band together for one united voice – at least for this election.
“While the process took a little longer than usual, this time it was for a meaningful reason — for the first time, we worked to ensure that all towns are united and on the same page,” Askonim coordinating the effort told TLS. “The focus has been on achdus — unity and collaboration — so that every community’s voice is represented in one strong, collective statement.”
They added, “Every single vote in every single town is critical in this election. Each area has its own local races and priorities, but together we share a larger responsibility — turning out every possible vote. This election will be decided by turnout. Let’s make sure our communities are heard loud and clear at the ballot box.”
TLS has obtained all the individual released letters of endorsement, as well as a picture of the packet which will be arriving soon to all local homes.

Be careful what you wish for. It’s great for millionaires! I hope the richest people get tax cuts at the expense of public assistance which is directly in line with trump! Millionaires need more money !!!
I’m not a millionaire, by the time you calculate property tax, income tax, sales tax,tolls, utilities (extra fees that go to local government) you’ll see that it’s close to 20% that hurts the middle class the most. No government programs and they just rip out a huge chunk of what you earn.
Even services you don’t personally use sustain a social context in which you exist. Cut it and it degrades. You might have a little more saved in tax and energy, but doubtful it will truly be savings when you count the degradation of everything. This has been the way for decades
short term gain for a drowning middle class. Which really amounts to slowing the bleeding. The rich laugh to the bank as the poor are crushed and the middle class has more resentment for the poor than for the rich. This can change fast and hard though. Look what happened after the Great Depression
Lets all get out and vote for Jack!
We need every. single. vote.
It must have been really hard for the vaad to endorse a Republican
Took courage and guts.
dont worry they still endorsed Avi the democrat who does not have my vote!
I didn’t know we have so many idoits
Mikie Sherrill ignored Lakewood, Lakewood will ignore Mikie Sherrill.
Let this election show that Lakewood (and its suburbs) is a voting bloc that should be reckoned with.
Sherrill endorses Mamdani- a Jew-hater who wants to destroy the state of Israel
He wants to kill all Jews.
What are all the anti-Vaad-at-all-costs people gonna do? Vote for Sherrill? They’re in a tough place now.
they wont vote Avi!
Vaad derangement syndrome
I’m happy! Jack will help cut food assistance and rent assistance and healthcare to cut my taxes. Im happy there are no people in Lakewood on public assistance anymore great job!!!!!
You don’t sound smarter if you post a dumb comment twice.
Are you joking, really !!! Lots of people in Lakewood getting free handouts i know because I work for food stamps office so dont say that !!! And plenty of people on wic !!!!because jobs do not give you the right amount to support your family so you definitely get help!!!
Hope it’s true … We need change …
when we have the national guard in lakewood arresting all your cleaning help Or you’ll be paying 100 percent more on your kitchen cabinets. You’ll be crying
Don’t let trumps clown rulE us
Every election, we fall for the jokesters om either side. When will we learn- politicians do jack___
I and many other residents proudly voted for MICHAEL INZELBUCH as a write-in for the Board of Education. His grasp of the various matters is way deeper than the others. And he truly cares about making the right decisions for the kids.
The State did all they could to get rid of him as the Board attorney due to his very effective advocacy against them. But, they have no ability to stop us from voting him in a member of the BOE.
I look forward to his joining the BOE and continuing to help the klal in his new position!
I’m sure your glad that you made national news, the only thing is that now you let the entire country know that in lakewood there is internal politics among us Yidden and we cant agree usually who to vote for.
Yup. Saw this on Fox.com
