Nominating petitions submitted by Jesse O. Kurtz, Lan Dang, Sharon Zappia, and Bob Willman were accepted by Atlantic City's Clerk. The Kurtz Ticket will appear on the June 2nd Republican primary election ballot. Kurtz, Dang, Zappia, and Willman constitute the first full Republican ticket in Atlantic City since 1911.
"The initial response to our campaign has been very positive," says Jesse O. Kurtz. "A lot of people are glad that we are speaking out against the corruption," claims Lan Dang. "There is a lot of fear from residents. I am running to be a voice for those afraid to speak."
The candidates are now working to convince more voters to switch from Democrat to Republican before the Monday, April 13 deadline for changing party affiliation. "I have always been a Democrat," explains Bob Willman. "But with the corrupt direction of Atlantic City Democrats, I agreed to switch parties to support Jesse O. Kurtz and run on his ticket."
The Kurtz Ticket's message of lowering taxes, by reducing spending by at least ten percent and fighting corruption through instituting transparency is resonating with city residents. "I know first hand of the difficulty that reckless city government spending brings to residents," remarked Sharon Zappia. "As both a property owner and a real estate broker, I have both felt the economic pain and witnessed the pain city government's bad decisions bring to other families."
