The "Conservative Interview Committee" discussion process.
These interviews provide a way for the often neglected and under-represented activist base of the New Jersey Republican Party to have discussions with GOP leaders who are seeking public office. What comes out of these discussions is a better understanding of who a prospective office holder is and where he or she stands on the issues.
For the prospective office holder, he or she gains an insight into what the broad activist base of the Republican Party is about and what their concerns are. Polling indicates that conservative voters make up the great majority of Republican Party members.
Based on this new understanding, conservative grassroots activist organizations may choose to support candidates who participate in the interview and discussion process. A candidate should look on the interview and discussion process as an “icebreaker” that could lead to a closer cooperation.
Candidates we recommend to conservatives...
Assemblyman Erik Peterson (R-23)
Our advice to new legislators is to FOLLOW Eric Peterson and DO WHAT HE DOES. There is no better example of consistent conservative leadership than Assemblyman Eric Peterson. The Assemblyman has some thoughtful and principled allies in the Legislature, most notably, Assemblymen Jay Webber (a traditional Reaganite) , Chris Barranco (a new-style populist), and Bob Auth (a Reagan populist). The Senate occupies a more desolate ground. Senators Doug Steinhardt, Mike Testa, and Joe Pennacchio offer hope for conservatives, while others may be best described as "works in progress".
