Dennis’ Donohue to Seek GOP Nod for State Assembly

DENNISVILLE — Michael John Donohue, of Dennis Township, on Thursday, Feb. 5, announced that he will seek to be a candidate for State Assembly this year.
Donohue, an attorney, Cape May County native and Dennis Township Republican leader, will present a letter of intent to the chairman of the Cape May County Regular Republican Organization on Friday, Feb. 6. That day will mark the 99th anniversary of the birth of the late President Ronald Reagan.
“Ronald Reagan said nearly three decades ago that government is not the solution to our problems, government IS the problem,” Donohue stated in a release.
“What we are faced with now is the need for the radical restructuring of state government in order to have some hope for prosperity in New Jersey in the future. If companies that have been in existence for a hundred years realize that only through eliminating divisions and downsizing can they survive, then our state government better wake up to the same reality immediately,” Donohue stated.
Over the course of the coming months, Donohue said he would host a series of speakers to talk about the need for a return to the conservative principles of small government, lower taxes and individual economic initiative. The events will be known as the Reagan-Roundtable Speakers Series. Details and speakers will be announced in future.
“I have three reasons why I am running for State Assembly: One is 9 years old, one is 7 years old and one is 3 years old, my children. If we don’t take action now to reduce the size of government, lower taxes and create incentives for businesses to locate in this state, neither my children nor yours will have any opportunity to grow and thrive in New Jersey. Our state government needs to be a partner in prosperity rather than the crusher of dreams it has become,” Donohue continued.
“I do not own a white flag’” Donohue said. “This moment in our history will not be recalled for those who cozied-up to the destructive policies that have battered the struggling young and the fixed-income elderly alike. Instead, it will be remembered for those who stood and fought against all odds to restore the American dream for our children. I intend to stand and fight,” he concluded.
