PARSIPPANY — Parsippany-Troy Hills Council President Louis Valori, Randolph Mayor Roman Hirniak and Peter King, Esq., three Republican challengers who are putting themselves up against the incumbent freeholders in Morris County — recently held an open house at their campaign headquarters located at 46 Gibraltar Drive, Powder Mill Plaza.
“Lou Valori, Roman Hirniak and Peter King are an incredible team comprised of three experienced leaders with proven records of success,” said campaign manager Steve Kush in a statement. “Their life and professional experiences, coupled with their community involvement, give them the unique skill sets required to achieve their goals of bringing ethics reform and common sense to the freeholder board, to make Morris County an even better place to live, work and raise a family.”
Hirniak said “the time is now” for him to run because he believes some freeholders are divisive and not willing to work cooperatively with the others. “A series of individuals on that board are altogether too focused on their own interests and are not interested in working collaboratively with their colleagues,” Hirniak said. He said he hears others around the county say “it’s time for a change,” and he believes — while declining to name names — that some freeholders are motivated by “vendettas” and have “fluid alliances and allegiances.”
According to Kush, the challengers are the “conservative Republicans who will bring about the changes needed in Morris County’s government.” He also said that, under their leadership, there would “be no more attempts at Democrat infiltration or cronyism.”
Valori currently serves as the Parsippany-Troy Hills council president, Hirniak is the mayor of Randolph and King is an Army veteran and a Parsippany attorney.
The trio are running as the “Morris County United” ticket. They will be facing off against the incumbents, Douglas Cabana, Tom Mastrangelo and Kathy DeFillippo and former Freeholder John Kirkus during the June 7 primary.
