Mercer County Republican Committee are meeting Tuesday to vote on their endorsement of a Republican candidate for president of the United State. The 6:30 p.m. vote at La Villa Ristorante in Hamilton occurs less than a week before New Jersey’s Feb. 5 primary.
Committee Chairman Roy Wesley, who has personally endorsed Rudy Giuliani, said “New Jersey, with its winner take all primary, is likely to play a pivotal role in deciding who will be the big winner on Super Tuesday.”
New Jersey is one of 24 states including New York and California will hold primaries or caucuses with 41 percent of the total Republican delegates.
“Regardless of who I have endorsed personally, it is critical that the Mercer County Republican Committee be part of the debate and help focus attention on the importance of making an informed choice by endorsing a candidate. This is what county committees get elected to do,” he said.
Wesley noted that his committee members would be looking to Florida for guidance as they consider their endorsement.
