PARSIPPANY — Jay Webber, a candidate for Congress, made a visit to Parsippany on Saturday morning, June 2 during a “Meet and Greet” with Parsippany Republicans. Webber is running in New Jersey’s 11th district.
Webber is running in the Tuesday, June 5 primary election against Tony Ghee; Peter De Neufville of Mendham; Patrick Allocco and Martin Hewitt. The winner will then be on the ballot in November against a Democrat; either Mikie Sherrill and Tamara Harris, whoever wins the Democrat nomination on Tuesday.
Tony Ghee said that Peter De Neufville, one of his opponents in Tuesday’s primary, offered him an appointment to the Morris County Parks Commission in exchange for withdrawing from the race and endorsing him.
Ghee, one of five Republicans running in New Jersey’s 11th district, says he perceived the offer as a “quid pro quo” of a job in exchange for an endorsement. Ghee sent a letter to federal and state prosecutors to ask them to investigate. (Click here to view letter)
