Sussex County GOP Chairman Richard Zeoli says that he would not consider supporting Sparta resident Peter Cavicchia II for Congress next year.
“Contributing money to John Kerry makes him a non-starter in a Republican primary, and we could not support anyone who was for Kerry before he was against him,” Zeoli told PoliticsNJ.com.
Cavicchia, a former Special Agent In-Charge of the New Jersey office of the U.S. Secret Service, said yesterday that he was mulling a challenge to seven-term Rep. Rodney Frelinghuysen in the 2008 primary. Cavicchia, the grandson of former Rep. Peter Cavicchia, acknowledged that he contributed $1,000 to Kerry’s 2004 presidential campaign, but says he voted for George W. Bush.
