SEAN PATRICK DI SOMMA CALLS ON “DC” DONOVAN TO RETURN CAMPAIGN CONTRIBUTIONS FROM LOBBYISTS AND BOROUGH ADMINISTRATOR
Belmar, New Jersey – October 31st, 2023 - Sean Patrick Di Somma, candidate for Belmar Borough Council, is urging his opponent, Caitlin Donovan, to return campaign contributions from lobbyists and the borough administrator to uphold transparency and prevent potential conflicts of interest.
Di Somma believes elected officials should prioritize the interests of constituents and maintain public trust. Therefore, he is calling on Donovan to take this step to ensure campaign contributions do not compromise the integrity of local government.
"A large percentage of Mrs. Donovan’s reported donations come from lobbyists and somehow…our borough administrator. Given her plan to jam hundreds of units of low-income housing units into the town which will hurt middle class Belmarsians, it is imperative for Belmar residents to know that their politicians are serving their interests and not the interests of Washington and Trenton lobbyists. Thus far, Caitlin has proven the opposite. I am publicly giving her the opportunity to the shake her earned nickname “DC” Donovan and stand with Belmar by returning tainted lobbyist, and borough administrator funds. " said Sean Patrick Di Somma.
This call for action follows concerns from residents about potential influences on decision-making within the Belmar Borough Council. Di Somma's campaign emphasizes the importance of putting residents first and maintaining accountability in government with his innovative Beautify Belmar program.
