Assemblywomen Margie Donlon (Ocean Twp) and Luanne Peterpaul (D-Long Branch) released their first television ad of the year as the pair seek a second term in the 11th legislative district. 

The 30-second, fast-paced ad features local law enforcement officers announcing their support of the pair, including their handling of issues like tax relief and public safety.

Donlon and Peterpaul were two of dozens of incumbents to receive an endorsement from the New Jersey State Policemen’s Benevolent Association. The announcement did not say how much money will back the ad.

The pair flipped the Monmouth County-based district in 2023 (after some slight adjustments in redistricting), and the 11th is once again expected to be competitive this fall. The ad also features Donlon and Peterpaul walking with state Sen. Vin Gopal (D-Long Branch), who is also the campaign chair for Rep. Mikie Sherrill’s (D-Montclair) gubernatorial campaign.

The Democrats will face real estate professional Jessica Ford and former Neptune City Mayor Andrew Wardell in the November general election.

Script:

“You know what time it is? Can’t be. Again? It’s time to vote. For both Margie and Luanne. They show up for us. Luanne’s the best. Love Margie. We’re finally getting real property tax relief. Renters are getting help too. My mother-in-law’s gonna get 50 percent back on property taxes. (beep). Yeah I love my mother-in-law! They’re working with Vin Gopal to keep us safe. Luanne was a prosecutor and a judge, she’s one of us. And Margie’s a doc, not a typical politician. Those ads talking [beep] about Margie and Luanne? They’re full of it. I don’t care if you’re a Republican or a Democrat. Or can’t stand either party. Trust me. Trust us. That’s why I’m voting. I’m voting…Margie Donlon and Luanne Peterpaul for Assembly.”

Former Jersey City Board of Education President Sudhan Thomas has admitted to accepting $35,000 in cash bribes in exchange for hiring a cooperating witness to serve as special counsel to the school board.

The New Jersey Attorney General’s office will recommend a sentence of five years in state prison, but the terms of the plea agreement permit Thomas to seek a lesser sentence when Superior Court Judge Peter Tober sentences him.

The plea deal also calls for Thomas to forfeit $10,000 in funds he received while committing the crime, pay a $30,000 public corruption profiteering penalty, and be subject to a lifetime ban on holding a public office or job.  Thomas will also face a five-year ban on doing business with any New Jersey government entity.

Thomas was one of five minor individuals charged in 2019 as part of the state’s cooperation agreement with Matthew O’Donnell, a tax appeal attorney who has admitted to using straw donors to direct campaign contributions to those who would ultimately hire his law firm, O’Donnell McCord.

In June 2024, Thomas was sentenced to two years in federal prison as part of a plea deal on federal embezzlement charges.  He admitted to stealing over $45,000 to pay off debts related to his school board campaign by writing checks from the Jersey City Employment and Training Program to others, but then cashing the checks himself.
