“Career politicians got us into this mess – lawlessness, runaway spending causing record inflation and economic turmoil, and shortages of food and other basic items from grocery store shelves. I’m a career prosecutor who went after government corruption to keep our communities safe and families secure. I’ll take on the career politicians to turn our country around,” said DeGroot.
Paul DeGroot, Santosh Peddi, Mickey Chopra, Raj Dichpally and Chris Ilic
Paul DeGroot, the son of a firefighter, was a tough-as-nails prosecutor who put criminals behind bars for over 25 years. As an outsider Paul DeGroot will take on the career politicians to do what’s right, for New Jersey, for our country.

“Rep Sherrill wants the American people to overlook the fact that she supported President Biden’s veto of the Keystone pipeline that cost thousands of Americans their well-paying jobs and reduced oil flow from Canada to the U.S. That was a big win for Russia and China,” noted DeGroot.
Arman Chopra, Mickey Chopra and Paul DeGroot
“Under President Biden, the U.S. went from energy independent to a nation now dependent on foreign oil. We can never stay the world leader in commerce if we are dependent on other countries to produce vital energy products for us,” said DeGroot.
DeGroot, has renewed his debate challenge to Congresswoman Mikie Sherrill. He is calling for a series of debates, starting whenever Congresswoman Sherrill will make herself available.

Each time the caller informs the victim that they have a “Failure to Appear” warrant(s) and could either turn themself in or pay a fine to avoid jail.
An investigation has revealed the phone number comes back to an address in North Carolina. Return phone calls to the number lead to voice mailbox for a “Sergeant Caruso”. Neither this individual nor the phone number are affiliated with the Morris County Sheriff’s Office.

The event is annually offered as a courtesy to all the Lodge’s members, their families and guests, and potential new members.
Knoll Park offered the perfect venue, with a large wooden covered seating area, with multiple picnic tables, and the availability of electricity for those interested to watch their favorite team lose (Go Jets) on the brand-new large screen television which was raffled off and won by one of our members at the end of the afternoon.

“It is an honor to have been selected as Vice President by my peers in the Constitutional Officers Association of New Jersey.

Darling went on to say, “I was proud to serve as the Surrogates Section Chief for the past term and the two-day Surrogates program we put together and held at the annual conference was challenging and productive. I pass the torch to my successor Middlesex County Surrogate Claribel Cortes.” In Surrogate Darling’s words to Surrogate Cortes, she congratulated Cortes on her new position and emphasized how confident she is that Surrogate Cortes will continue to lead the Surrogates in taking on a more active role in improving their association and the way business is done with their offices.
COANJ organized in 1920 and its members work in cooperation to improve services rendered to their respective counties. COANJ members meet regularly on matters of importance relating to the management of their offices; to provide feedback for legislation in relation to the conduct of all the statutory requirements and duties relating to the offices of the Sheriffs, County Clerks, Surrogates and Registers of Deeds and Mortgages in the State of New Jersey and to encourage and maintain high standards of service. Surrogate Darling congratulates outgoing President Monmouth County Clerk Christine Hanlon for her leadership this past term. “I appreciate the time and effort it takes to steward a statewide organization and I thank those who have served. I look forward to working with COANJ’s new President Ocean County Sheriff Michael Mastronardy; new Secretary Somerset County Clerk Steve Peter; and Treasurer Cape May County Surrogate Dean Marcolongo,” said Surrogate Darling.
