LITTLE NOT RUNNING

Freeholder Anna C. Little has issued a statement announcing that she will not seek reelection this year.
Little was denied the Republican Party line by County Chairman Adam Puharic. Courted by County Democrats, Little ultimately rejected their offers. The vast editorial staff here at the Monmouth County Republican Blog always believed that a change of party by Little was unlikeley. Little, a Conservative, would find herself in a party diametrically opposed to her social views.
She ultimately rejected both a Republican primary run or an Independent run in November,

"I have decided that a costly and divisive primary is not in the best interests of the people of Monmouth County. Likewise, a costly and divisive independent run is not in the best interests of those whom I serve".
Little's term runs until the end of this year. She has taken many courageous stands on the Board of Chosen Freeholders, and is expected to remain a strong voice for the remainder of her term.
Sometimes it takes more courage to not run than to run. Freeholder Little's action shows a level of grace and class sorely needed in Monmouth County politics.
I do not believe we have seen the last of Anna Little.

Secretary Seward has the full text of her statement.
