Wayne, NJ – March 18, 2010. Felix Garcia was unanimously nominated to run as their candidate for Passaic County Sheriff by the leaders of the Passaic County Regular Republican Organization, Monday night at a meeting held in Wayne.

Garcia will head the Republican county ticket in the coming campaign against the incumbent Sheriff. The party chose Thomas Gomez and Walter Garner as their candidate’s for freeholder.

In last year’s election the Passaic County Regular Republican Organization, led by Chairman Scott Rumana, bested the Democrats in the race for freeholder, sweeping all three seats. This year the organization is looking to oust 2 incumbent freeholders as well as the incumbent sheriff.

Garcia said, “I am honored to have been elected by the leaders to run for Sheriff. The sheriff’s office has grown fat and bloated, and our tax payers can’t continue to fund the wasteful spending of the current sheriff. Our Chairman Scott Rumana has a strong team and the party has been energized by our sweep of the county freeholder race last year.”

Chairman Rumana said, “Felix brings a wealth of law enforcement experience to the table. He is well known in our community and most importantly, well liked. That gives us a winning combination going forward.”

“I look forward to the campaign. I know it will be a tough fight, but my team and I are prepared for battle.” said Garcia.
