GUZMAN BELL [NOTARY PUBLIC OF NEW JERSEY 10 # 50019321 (My Commresion Expres 297202022017, ‘Sommer Fait eflectve immedately From: Sommer Fai <(air4leh@gmail.com> To: Fran Zimmer Ce: Marta Harrison ‘Subject: Sommer Fait effective immediately Date: Fri, Sep 1, 2017 10:41 pm Fran, Thank you for endorsing me as your candidate. Unfortunately, I have been pressured to drop out by the very people that originally asked me to run. It was never my intention to run as a "placeholder candidate". I entered this campaign fully committed to enter the general election, but hidden agendas have created an atmosphere of disunity in the Great Bay Democratic Club. The Democratic Party here in Ocean County is severely fractured. The organization is unorganized and lacks the support and manpower to properly run a campaign. Disagreements and secret closed door meetings with Republican lawyers (behind my back) and the lack of support from The Great bay democratic club was highly disappointing. For that reason I must remove myself from this campaign. Effective immediately, I suspend my campaign and this letter serves as my intention to have my name removed from the ballot. Going forward, I have put my efforts into other endeavors as a private citizen. I wish my opponents nothing but the best of luck. I hope they continue to do what's best for our town and the people of our community. ct ful cs ‘Sommer Fai CATHERINE ALLEN Of? jy 6-438 UE NOTARY PUBLIC OF NEW JERSEY set 1 CONMSSON EES Wa 26 es : htpsmel ol comwebmai-stser-us/PrintMessage a”
