APP.COM - GOP contract for candidates OK with most | Asbury Park Press Online: "Monmouth County Republicans seeking the party's support for county and state office must sign a contract agreeing to have their background check results viewed by a wide range of people — including party officers and members and the organization's vendors and contractors. A copy of the contract was obtained by the Asbury Park Press Thursday.
The candidates also have to agree to pay for the background checks, expected to cost $1,000 each, and promise not to run in the primary elections if not chosen by a screening committee.
Prominent Republicans said the contract, which up to 20 candidates have been asked to sign, is part of a badly needed new process of picking candidates, but some also said the agreement goes too far.
County GOP Chairman Adam Puharic, who said he worked with 'a team of lawyers' to create the document, said he may pull back the contract. Puharic said he has sent the contract 'to a constitutional lawyer for review.'"
