The Hammonton Hometown Republican Team of Giralo, Hernandez and Pullia are challenging their opponents to a debate. The Republican Team is anxious to contrast their experience, fresh ideas, and hometown values with the irresponsible policies of their opponents. The Republican candidates agreed that a debate will be an opportunity to address Hammontonians’ concerns about the crushing tax increases and massive water and sewer fees the town has felt in recent years.

Candidate Joe Giralo stated, “Under my leadership on the Board of Education, we reversed the trend of runaway school tax increases year after year. The community knows my record of service and I plan to put those same skills to work at Town Hall.” Mickey Pullia added, “I’ll debate our opponents, anytime, anywhere. I think a debate will show voters how out-of-sync our opponents’ priorities are with the rest of Hammonton.” Otto Hernandez said, “Our town has a management problem. This debate will show the community that we have the skills to manage the town responsibly.”

The Republican team is proposing a debate on Sunday, October 18th, 2015 at 7 pm at Town Hall.
