Wishing a very Happy Birthday to Monmouth County GOP Chair, and Sheriff Shaun Golden
Wishing a happy birthday to our most beloved, accountable, and transparent public official here in Monmouth.

I want to wish a very happy birthday to Corrupt Monmouth County Republican Chair, Party Boss, and Monmouth County Sheriff Shaun Golden, who opposed a bill that would've prohibited him from being Sheriff and Monmouth County Republican Chairman simultaneously. The same Corrupt Sheriff and Monmouth County Republican Chair, Shaun Golden, approved of the Monmouth County fully controlled Republican commission illegally raising their own wages by $3,000, including his own wages by $42,210 over a period of five years.
The same Shaun Golden, who is so scared of criticism and disregards constituents with opposing views and differing opinions, to the point that he blocked a woman from his official government account simply for disagreeing with him. The same Monmouth County Republican Chair and Sheriff who hates accountability and answering to the voters and residents of Monmouth County, which led to avoiding and advising the entire Monmouth County Republican government to avoid attending the only debates held in Monmouth County, as hosted by the League of Women Voters.
Monmouth County Republican Chair and Sheriff Shaun Golden also refused to effectively condemn Republican County Commissioner Ross Licitra, who's thankfully retiring this year, when he berated and called an employee a nobody simply for disagreeing with his organization's decision to euthanize a dog- the same Ross Licitra who threatened to cut the throats of people, presumably employees, whom he deems rude. The same Shaun Golden who also refused to condemn, endorsed, and continues to enthusiastically support Michael McGuire, a Republican Congressional Candidate running against Herb Conaway in New Jersey's Third Congressional District, who was accused by his ex-wife years ago of allegedly striking her, and was found guilty by his own police department of doing so, alongside being found guilty by that same police department he worked under for attendance issues.

The same Monmouth County Republican Chair and Sheriff Shaun Golden, who supported the Monmouth County Republican Government wasting nearly a million in taxpayer money in a failed attempt to privately seize an airport. The same Monmouth County Republican Government that raised taxes on all of us last year by 21-23 million. The same Monmouth County Republican Party and Government that he is the boss of, which continues to enthusiastically support the disastrous Monmouth ADP, Assessment Demonstration Program, which shifts the tax burden unpredictably and creates an invasive, corporate-driven system. The ADP also exposes homeowners to abrupt annual real estate market swings, causing property values—and tax obligations—to spike rapidly year over year.
The same Shaun Golden who reprimanded and dropped conservative Serena DiMaso from representing the 13th assembly district for alleged unethical behavior that includes missing critical legislative votes while vacationing and granting tax breaks to a hospital while sitting on its Board of Trustees. If you're so concerned about unethical behavior, then why have you done everything that I've mentioned above? Because you don't care about unethical behavior, you dropped and blacklisted Serana DiMaso and other conservatives because they dared to disagree with an entitled, power-hungry, corrupt establishment party boss like yourself who is only concerned about their bottom line; otherwise, you wouldn't have accepted that illegal $42,210 pay raise, alongside the illegal pay raises your fellow Republicans on the county commission gave themselves. If you were so concerned about unethical behavior, you wouldn't support someone who berated workers and threatened them; you wouldn't support someone who was found guilty by his own police department of allegedly striking his ex-wife and having a terrible attendance record as an NYPD officer. If you were so concerned about unethical behavior, you wouldn't block a woman from your official government account just because she disagreed with you.

And if you cared about accountability you wouldn't block critics, avoid the only debates we have here in Monmouth, oppose holding two positions simultaneously, that being of Monmouth Sheriff, and Republican Party Chair, and you wouldn't be in Monmouth County Government, as you're the most corrupt person in government, and in our politics here in this County that has been becoming more unaffordable under your party's watch. The people of Monmouth County are tired of your corruption; conservatives, Democrats, independents, and other Monmouth Residents are tired of your constant silencing of critics, corruption, and lack of accountability. We, the people of Monmouth, deserve better, and you're standing in our way, and we're sick of it. So, happy birthday, Shaun, and hopefully you wish to be a better person, not only for yourself, but for this County as well, as you unfortunately represent us too.
