The Light with Raymond Tyler
Election Night 2023 (Tuesday, Nov. 7, 2023) proved to be a night of validation for Atlantic County Republicans.
The atmosphere at The Linwood Country Club was celebratory as the numbers came in, revealing sweeping victories for the county seats.
If there was anything close to an upset, it would be Joseph O’Donoghue winning The Atlantic County Sheriff seat from the incumbent Eric Scheffler.
O’Donoghue stressed that he would do what’s needed to ensure safety both in Atlantic City and the entire county. Mindful of the electorate that did not support him, O’Donohue explained that his term would be “diverse and transparent.” He also said “If someone has a good idea from either party? Feel free to pick up the phone and call my office.”
Senator Vincent Polistina won reelection. Polistina thanked the voters and promised to deliver on his platform of involving parents in the educational process.
The hundreds gathered to celebrate the county wins across the board were happy with the wins but also expressed the need to secure more future wins for council seats in Atlantic City. The party won one race in Atlantic City, with Jesse Kurtz retaining his seat in the sixth ward.
