Plumsted GOP Incumbents Prevail In Primary

By Bob Vosseller

PLUMSTED – Incumbents Leonard Grilletto and Michael Hammerstone won the township’s GOP primary contest on June 6 against John Neyenhouse and Kate Tallon.

Grilletto is seeking another three-year term on the Township Committee while Hammerstone, who was appointed in February following the resignation of Republican Committeeman Thomas Calabrese, will fill a one-year unexpired term.

The two incumbents were endorsed by the Plumsted Republican organization. They were challenged by Neyenhouse seeking the full term and Tallon who was seeking the unexpired term. The challengers were running on a ticket titled: “Republicans

Accomplishing More Together.”

It was a campaign largely fought through meet and greet sessions, social media outlets and signs throughout the community.

Grilletto received 465 votes and Neyenhouse got 286 votes in their contest. Hammerstone received 475 votes and Tallon 272 votes in their contest. No Democrats filed to run in the primary.

“We would like to thank everyone who voted for us and to keep our promises to keep Plumsted Township moving forward in the right direction for the benefit of all residents. God bless everyone,” Committeeman Grilletto said on behalf of himself and Hammerstone.
