Clifton and Sauickie land key Ocean GOP endorsements
The four-county Republican team is "more energized than ever" to continue their success.
Ocean County - Assemblymen Rob Clifton (R-Matawan) and Alex Sauickie (R-Jackson) announced today that they will seek re-election to the 12th legislative district Assembly seats in 2025 with the support of an extensive list of GOP county and municipal chairs, and Republican elected officials at all levels across their Ocean County districts.
Clifton is a six-term lawmaker, with Sauickie finishing his first full term since winning a special election in 2022 to complete the term of Assemblyman Ron Dancer (R-Plumsted) who passed away while in office. Sauickie had the endorsement of Dancer’s widow Brenda and won against two other candidates with 69% of the vote.
On the heels of President Trump’s historic win and performance in New Jersey, Clifton and Sauickie said they are “more energized than ever” to continue their work in the legislature.
“Our communities, families, and especially seniors face many challenges – from high costs including sky rocketing utility bills, reckless policies threatening the overdevelopment of our communities, to ever increasing taxes that are strangling small businesses and families,” said Clifton.
“I am seeking reelection to continue my track record of fighting against these extreme policies and to put people before reckless ideology.”
“I am proud to serve in the Assembly alongside Rob Clifton,” Sauickie said.
“As your representative, I work to deliver real results for our community – from legislation signed into law to preserve farmland, to ensuring our schools get their fair share of funding, to backing our veterans and men and women in blue, to fixing our roads and bridges. I am more excited than ever for the campaign ahead and another term fighting for common sense.”
