Berkeley, NJ – The Berkeley Township Republican Club, the Berkeley Township Women’s Republican Club, the Berkeley Township Republican Municipal Committee, Mayor Carmen F. Amato, Jr., and Council Members John Bacchione, Keith Buscio, James Byrnes, Sophia Gingrich, Angelo Guadagno and Tom Grosse issued their endorsements of David Richter for Congress in New Jersey’s Third Congressional District.   Berkeley Township, with a population of approximately 42,000, is the third largest Ocean County municipality in the Third District.  Club President Stephen Pellecchia said, “As the President of the Regular Republican Club of Berkeley Township, I am proud to add my endorsement of David Richter to his growing list of supporters.  His track record as a businessman and his support for President Trump make it very clear that he is the only Republican candidate who can beat Andy Kim.”   Councilwoman Gingrich and Women’s Club President Jennifer Bacchione added, “We are extremely excited to get to work to help David’s campaign, and to help Republicans retake control of the House in November.  We need to send political outsiders like David to Washington to help President Trump drain the swamp.”   Councilman Jim Byrnes, a U.S. Army veteran who served in Vietnam, added, “After speaking with David, I firmly believe that he is the best candidate to help our veterans receive the services they deserve.  Our region is home to a significant population of veterans and David will be a tireless advocate for them in Washington.”   “I am extremely grateful for the overwhelming support I have received in Berkeley Township.  As one of the largest municipalities in Ocean County, Berkeley will be one of the most influential towns in this race.  Adding their support moves our campaign that much closer to victory,” said Richter.   Richter is the former CEO of global construction management firm Hill International.  During his time at the company, Hill grew from a struggling family business with less than 300 employees into a successful public company with more than 4,300 employees.  A lifelong Republican, Richter grew up in and has spent most of his life living and working in the Third District.  He earned two bachelor’s degrees and a law degree from Penn as well as master’s degrees from Oxford and Harvard.  Richter and his wife Michelle, who have been married for 20 years, are the parents of four daughters.   For more information on the David Richter for Congress campaign, please visit our website at www.Richter2020.com.   Contact: Tom Bonfonti Press@Richter2020.com
