Gloucester County Can Do Better

What you need to know about the partisan Republican team trying to control Gloucester County government and elections

Narolewski

Pakradooni

Wingate

Extreme far-right

Republicans who will take away your freedoms.

Irresponsible on spending and will make living in Gloucester County more expensive.

Involved in politics for their own financial gain and want to raise taxes and profit off our local government.

THIS IS THE

GLOUCESTER

COUNTY

REPUBLICAN

PARTY:

TAX

INCREASES

Commissioner Candidate Steve Pakradooni said “We’re going to have to increase spending.” A spending increase means a tax increase. It’s simple math. There’s a history here. His running mate, Commissioner Candidate Adam Wingate raised Harrison Township’s taxes 17% in just the last three years.¹

GOVERNMENT

CASH IN THEIR

POCKETS

Clerk candidate Tom Narolewski leveraged campaign cash to secure no-bid contracts for government insurance jobs.² Steve Pakradooni’s wife enjoys a $51,542 political patronage job despite the fact that she had zero qualifications.³ And tax raiser Adam Wingate doesn’t pay his own taxes, racking up a court judgement and $50,422 in state tax liens.⁴

PROMISES TO

“PROSECUTE”

VOTERS

Steve Pakradooni is an election denier who promises that if his party wins control of County Government (elections would be run by Clerk Candidate Tom Narolewski), they will reduce election rights, prosecute voters, and impose harsh restrictions aimed at voters who don’t support his party.⁵

SATANIC CANNIBALS?

YES, REALLY,

SATANIC CANNIBALS

If Wingate and Pakradooni win, the most powerful position in Gloucester County Government – Commissioner Director – would be held by Nick DeSilvio, a QAnon Conspiracy Theorist. That’s right. Gloucester County will be run by someone who openly subscribes to the theory that “a cabal of Satanic, cannibalistic sexual abusers of children operating a global sex trafficking ring conspired against Donald Trump.”

AND IF YOU THOUGHT IT COULDN’T GET WORSE, WHITE SUPREMACY

Washington Township’s Republican boss recently shared a vile post on Facebook that says we need to teach children “about the danger of blacks.” As the Chair of the Washington Township Republican Party, Steven Pakradooni’s response to the controversy didn’t include a single negative word about the vile post or white supremacy. He just showed immense anger that anyone would dare ruin the boss’ “good name.”⁶

Extreme far-right Republicans who will take away your freedoms.

Narolewski, Pakradooni and Wingate are part of the NJ far-right Republicans team that is undermining democracy, pushing conspiracy theories, and taking away women’s reproductive rights.

Irresponsible on spending and will make living in Gloucester County more expensive.

Republicans running for office in Gloucester County oppose the county spending freeze.

Adam Wingate voted for higher spending and higher property taxes in Harrison Township from 2020-2022, every year he’s been in office, raising Harrison Township’s taxes 17%.¹

Pakradooni and the County GOP Chair spoke out against a three-year spending freeze⁷, and Republicans on the Board of Commissioners voted against it.

In fact, Steve Pakradooni says spending will have to increase in 2023.

…what's going to happen in the 2023 budgets is we're going to have to increase spending…

While the far-right Republican team opposes plans to freeze spending and cut taxes…they haven’t paid their own taxes.

Pakradooni and Wingate have a long history of not paying their own taxes.

Pakradooni:

Owed more than $33,000 in unpaid New Jersey taxes.
Owed more than $33,400 in unpaid federal taxes.
Owed more than $26,000 in back taxes to Philadelphia and Pennsylvania.
Sued six times for more than $20,000 in unpaid debts.⁸

Wingate:

Racked up a court judgment and $50,422 in state tax liens.⁴

Involved in politics for their own financial gain and want to raise taxes to profit off our local government.

Narolewski and his insurance company profited from no-bid government contracts in areas where he gave money to local politicians.²

After he lost a state Senate campaign, Steve Pakradooni’s wife got a $51,542 political job in a Republican Gloucester County Commissioner’s office, despite not having any relevant experience.

Pakradooni and Wingate don’t even vote in most elections.

Pakradooni didn’t register to vote until 6 years ago, when he was 49 years old. Since then he’s been on the ballot six times – and voted 6 times.⁹
Wingate fails to vote 60% of the time.¹⁰

THE BOTTOM LINE

We can’t let extreme far-right Republicans win control over Gloucester County government and elections.
