Marine Major Endorses Kevin Sullivan

Sullivan served in the US Marine Corps under the major.

To whom it may concern: It is a distinct privilege and pleasure to endorse the candidacy of Mr. Kevin Sullivan for the Chatham Township Committee.   Although I have not lived in the Chatham Township community, I have known Kevin for more than 25 years, which included his honorable and faithful service as a U.S. Marine Officer, and later as a personal friend and advisor.

Twp. Mayor Endorses Sullivan

Nicole Hagner gives her reasons for supporting Kevin Sullivan in the polls.

Dear Editor: With the Tuesday, June 5 Republican Primary fast approaching, I urge all Republican voters to cast their vote for Kevin Sullivan for Chatham Township Committee.  I strongly value Kevin’s background, experience, and capabilities.
