Pat Gottschalk's Endorsement Letter

Dear Point Pleasant residents,

 It is with great pleasure as the former Republican Municipal Chairperson for 12 years, charter member of the Point Pleasant Republican Club, and County Committeewoman, to have the honor of endorsing Bill Schroeder for mayor of Point Pleasant.

I think you will agree that one of the hardest decisions to deal with in any political race is for someone who is a member of one party to endorse a candidate who is a member of another party. But that is not a hard decision when it is the right thing to do.

I know there are many good Republicans in Point Pleasant who will vote for the best candidate, regardless of party affiliation.

They will vote for the best candidate to unite and lead the town in a rational manner. They will vote for the person who is most qualified and will do the best job for ALL residents, regardless of party affiliation.

They will vote for someone who respects the residents who live in Point Pleasant and the employees who work for Point Pleasant while being fiscally responsible and making sure everyone can afford to live in Point Pleasant.

 I have worked on many political campaigns at the national, state, county and local level in New Jersey and have served as a campaign manager for 26 successful campaigns, without a loss; in Point Pleasant before retiring in 2006 and am saddened to see how the negative tone of this year's Republican campaign has divided Point Pleasant.

We need strong leadership that can build bridges - not burn bridges. We need Bill Schroeder and his team to bring Point Pleasant back to a community people are proud to call home.
    
 Sincerely,
 Pat Gottschalk
