(Chatham, NJ) – Republican County Commissioner Tayfun Selen rolled out five new endorsements from across Morris County, demonstrating continued momentum heading into the Morris County Republican Convention just over two weeks from today. The latest list includes Pequannock Mayor Melissa Florance-Lynch, Rockaway Borough Mayor Tom Mulligan, and Pequannock Councilwoman Kyle Russell as well as Republican Municipal Chairs Sydney Ugalde (Randolph) and Daniel Bevere (Chatham Township). Randolph, Pequannock and Chatham Township are all among the top 10 largest municipalities among Republican primary voters in the Morris County portion of Congressional District 11. Endorsements announced earlier this week from Parsippany, Rockaway Township, and Jefferson Township - which combined account for nearly one-third of all Republican Primary voters in the Morris portion of District 11 – show the growing unity around Selen’s candidacy.

“As the left-wing of the national Democratic Party tries to pull us toward socialism, it’s a great opportunity for our Party to nominate someone like Tayfun who has lived the American dream, built an impressive business career, and then served his community as Mayor and County Commissioner,” said Rockaway Borough Mayor Tom Mulligan.

“Tayfun knows so many of the grassroots leaders in our Party from his selection at the Morris County Convention in early 2020 and then working side by side with them in his impressive county-wide victory as Commissioner later that fall. Even better, unlike Mikie Sherrill, Tayfun knows the issues facing our communities and is working to solve them every day on the Board of Commissioners,” said Randolph GOP Chairwoman Sydney Ugalde. “As Republican Chair in one of the largest Republican towns in the district, I’m proud to endorse Tayfun and help build the campaign needed at the grassroots level to defeat Mikie Sherrill and win back this seat.”

Selen was previously endorsed by four Morris County Commissioners, including Stephen Shaw, Deb Smith, Kathy DeFillippo, and Deputy Director John Krickus.

“I want to thank these important Republican leaders for joining our cause and continuing the momentum we are building at the grassroots level,” said Selen, Morris County’s Director of the Board of Commissioners. “Washington needs a serious shake-up to get America back on the right track. This campaign is growing every single day, because local leaders know the path to knocking out Nancy Pelosi as Speaker comes through districts like this one.”
