Both of these guys have "some pair" to even think about it.

"I had originally screened to run both for council and mayor, and then I narrowed it down to leaving my name in just for mayor," said Toth. LMAO
This is good now you will only be half as disappointed when your party tells you NO! It’s time we in Brick are free of you! Concentrate on scamming your liquor clients the Brick tax payers have had enough of you!

Dan its a little early to pull an April fools day joke. Again how did you try to get liquor stores approved using your power.

Very easy to make absurd claims hiding behind fake names, isn't it?

Dan Toth is an amazing father, man to train with, and sets the example for what a citizen should be. A leader by example.

Not some aggravating basement dweller to cowardly to even have accountability for their statements.

Wow! such negativity....I can see you people really don't know Dan at all!

Dan Toth is a hard working man with Hus strong valves of a family man, look out for his fellow people that he knows and does not, and the people that like to pick on a person that can't state their name is a bully. Dan has his view on subjects that people are concern about as well as the people have their own view. In stead of complaining about it, ask Dan Toth what he is going to do about it and hold him ti his word and integrity. Dan Paff

I know Dan personally and he is the man Brick Township needs for mayor, he has my vote!

Just promise you will not take health benefits and then go back on your word , as the taxpayers can't do anything about being lied to their faces.

Seriously there needs to be 4 independents, libertarians, Anarcho - capitalists out there to run against these public takers. And if the people do not vote for the clean , they deserve to have their money stolen and wasted and wind up homeless. No more excuses !!!!!!

Dan is a good father and a good friend he would do anything for anybody! Stop by a township meeting and get to know him he is the right man for Brick Township!!

If you win Mayor, I'm moving to Brick - I'd be happy to live in a town Dan's in charge of! (And I'm not even a Republican)

Dan Toth is the only "electable" Republican left in Brick Township. If the Rs choose any of the others they will lose. In the words of Neil Young-"The damage done." Time to clean up Brick politics.

He's got my vote

Dan is a down-to-earth, regular guy. He understands what it's like to work hard to be able to afford to live in this town and raise a family. He's been a part of politics to make things better for Brick residents. Since he's been on the council he always has welcomed comments and feedback, has posted office hours and his email and phone number so people can contact him when they need to. As long as I've known him he's always done what he thinks is right, even if that means going against the grain and against what some of his fellow Republicans tell him he should vote for. And yes, this is politics, and politics get messy, but I still can't understand the animosity that some of you people have for him.

So is he not the guy that used his seat to gain favors for his liquor business? This clown has to be kidding.

Dan Toth is EXACTLY what Brick needs. An honest, hardworking man looking to improve Brick for its current residents and for our future residents! Dan has my vote!

What a joke this has to be. Toth was with Ducey last week at a meeting...He knows he cannot win so what gives? I think there is something going on with the Dems and Toth.

Kim Giannone

I've know Dan for 5 Years. He is one of the most caring, honest and devoted people I know. He is an amazing Husband and father. If anyone asks him for help with anything he comes through every time. I have experience working with him personally and professionally, Dan is not a yes man he does what is right. Brick would be very lucky to have him.

I think he stinks! I can't believe he hasn't been brought up on charges for using his power to gain favors for his businesses. Everybody else has to wait and wait and wait to get things done. But he does things his way by abusing his powers as a council member. Why do you think the Mayor had him behind closed doors and use this so that Dan would change his vote or what he usually does is abstain from most of the voting. We all know the truth behind what really went on. Either way we need new blood from the republicans. If they were smart they won't back ANY of the existing council members. They all stink and we want them all out. Otherwise you are gonna wind up giving the democrats the vote, because most of the people in this town are sick and tired of these clowns. I usually vote republican but I won't vote for any of them if they have the nerve to run. They have sucked enough of my money and have done nothing. And he doesn't always go against the grain especially if the Mayor has something to hold over his head. He promised my neighbor last year that the Angela Hibbard Park was next on the list for a whole new park. We'll I guess us people down here in Shore Acres and Baywood mean nothing because look at it. It's the worst park in town! We already lost everything I guess the council members figure why should we have something to look forward to. We are forgotten people down here and the council makes sure of it. I'm sure the Colorado park will get done before ours.

Dan is a nice guy. It is too bad his Repub cronies have muddied up the party name with their self serving practices. He might be better off running as an independent or dare I say, a democrat.

Best story ever was when a few years ago he was walking threw the neighborhoods meeting people, My son with aspergers met him at the door & he was so honest " Who are you?? why are you here?? "I always lived in Brick never heard of ya before... stranger danger" & closed the door on him ...... priceless

Dan has been a great friend of mine for several years now. He is selfless, caring, a loving father and husband, hardworking, and honest man. I have spoken with him at length on many of his ideas and they always just seem to make sense. Dan is about saving people's money, not taking it away. Everything he does is for the good of the people in his town. Voting for Dan isn't even a debate in my eyes, it's the right vote, period!!

Joe Bastone

Where is Art Sholty?

Is Sangiovanni going to give up his job at the BOE if he runs and god forbid wins

Mayor Acropolis has about as much of a chance of being re-elected as I do growing another penis! Which brings up the question, if I did grow another penis, would that be double dipping?

Happy to hear Dan Toth is running for mayor. He has put in his time gaining experience with council and the local boards he has served.

This primary election should be about the future of Brick Township and what vision each candidate brings to the table. My expectation is that the local party doesn't like primary challenge and will circle their wagons behind their chosen candidates. I would hope they would enjoy the active debate on issues and the opportunity for new members to join their ranks in the upcoming months.

Good luck Dan Toth with your efforts moving forward.

Dan us just like the rest. What can i do to help my friends and what do I gain from this. Get real this is Brick politics.

So, we would have to also guess. That Dan has left the Republican Club. and wants to run Independent now.

Wonder what the Republicans are up to, they just got stabbed in the back by their own.?
We heard around the community, that they have someone new in mind. someone who's not like the others? ( not like these rich guys who worry only about them selfs ) just an average working class guy with a lot of expierance.

This election will be interesting.

Good news good news... No more Steve and his corrupt ho's

Maybe I missed something,but what has Mr. Toth done?????????

He was a jerk when we went to high school together, and I definitely won't be voting for him.

Dan's an upstanding man who will do right by his community. Dan's a selfless guy who works hard to support his family....just like the rest of us do. He's a down to earth guy who is a wonderful father, husband, brother and has a heart of gold. For those nay-sayers, realize that not everything in life is perfect...as adults we should know, we don't get everything we want. Looking at the big picture, Dan puts his heart and soul into everything he does and Brick would be lucky to have him as mayor!

Why do I feel like I am listening to an infomercial.

Wow, the more I read, the more the Republicans must be SOOOOOOoooo embarrassed. They have such issues to deal with. Anyone contact the Republicans and ask how they feel about this Double cross. Wow -He has established a campaign fund to run for mayor.
To make a donation, make checks payable to "Friends of Dan Toth" that was quick! He got all his signatures and papers in WoW.!!! So, I would also guess he had just enough time to set up a non profit organization ??that's quick planning. Hey, its Tuesday, isn't there a town meeting tonight ? Let's see who's showing.

Wow, its just amazing how all of a sudden all these one time posters come out of the woodwork to express their love for Dan, if they were anymore obvious, well to be blunt I just regurgitated.

But I guess its politics as usual, round and round we go and end up with the same mess we started with.

I will be voting for Dan - He is a good man who will put Brick first.

Dan Toth is the man that Brick needs!

Dan is exactly the kind of man that we need in politics. He is always a class act and always willing to help others. I'd be happy to have him as my mayor.

Dan is the man Brick needs. Bricks concerns will come after he takes care of his business pals. wait does that mean we are 2nd.

I'm glad to hear there's going to be a primary...believe we should have them all the time. The gop club is run liked a closed shop, small select group runs a club of a couple hundred members. Who do they represent other than the professionals and hacks looking for patronage. There are approx 12,000 registered republicans in Brick

Dan has always been a hard worker and a great leader. Good luck Dan!

Who is running for council with him? Is Vic Fanelli finally going to run for council? He should run!

My thoughts continued....there are also more than 26,000 undeclared voters who could vote in the primary. There's not enough input in either party by ordinary people, too much control by party bosses and too much influence by campaign contributors. The primary should be interesting and will likely set records for low blows. As for me, I'm hoping a Tea Party or Libertarian candidate enters the mayoral race for the general election.

Look the word is Danny the "liquor sales expiditer" , if you know what I mean. Made a deal with the Dems to run in the primary. He is with the Dem councilfolk all the time. Seen everywhere in Brick with them. There is a deal on the table, that is why Totthy is running. When is KR getting her job? Only thing is, that deal with him getting things moved along in town for his clients has not gone away. He is with Ducey lately more then white is on rice, go figure.

Councilman Toth is one of the most honorable people I know. I think it's hysterical that people are posting that because he's a wine importer he's responsibile for underage drinking. Do the same people blame the owners of McDonald's for making their kids fat, probably. The old school Republicans don't like Councilman Toth because he actually votes his concious (can you imagine such a thing) and not along party lines. If you're going to trash someone at least have the b@ll$ to use your name and not hide behind a made up one. Good luck Dan and keep up the good work.

VOTE them ALL out, every last one of them. We need all new blood.

AGAIN...... What has Mr. Toth DONE???????????????

I laugh at some of the criticism of Dan Toth. He actual speaks to members of the Democratic Party! In a civil manner no less!! Boy, I can certainly understand why someone would take issue with an R speaking respectfully to a D after the way the current Mayor has spoken to the Ds for years. Yes it IS time for a change in Brick. Time to join together for the common good of ALL the people. Dan Toth is the man to get it done. BTW I put my name on any post I make. Denny D'Andrea

OK this is for all you Danny Zombies, check on how many important votes he missed by not being at the meeting, check how many votes he has abstained on for multiple reasons, he is I can’t even call him a part time councilman he participates fare less that a part timer would (unless the vote would benefit his political future), so how can you vote for this semi councilman?

Michael Thulen would make a great Mayor.

I'm voting for the little bald headed guy who loved to talked down to people when on the council. I liked how how whole head would turn red when he got mad at someone.

Someone better knock on Art's door and make sure he is still breathing

Who will clean up the town, do code enforcement and address section 8 housing..thats my voting direction

" It's a no Brainer, vote for Dan the Abstainer"...

.I can see this bumper sticker on Art Sholty's 1975 Dodge Dart right now.

Fot the third time...WHAT HAS HE DONE..The sound of silence is overwhelming as to his accomplishments...Please list them for all to see.........

@local not a damn thing ..ABSTAIN !!!

I have to say a few things about Dan Toth. Aside from everyone else's comments about a great man and a great father , etc., there are many other great things about him. Unlike most politicians, Dan doesn't have a municipal job. He is a self-starter and actually has a business that he has grown all by himself. He knows when to expand and when/where to cut your losses for a balanced budget. He makes great decisions that are completely thought through as opposed to spur-of -the-moment ones with no planning in sight. He works hard in our community and tries to help others as well succeed. If helping liquor stores may have helped him, then they too, are obviously doing well and not by whatever you people feel may have been an inside thing. He likes to see all forms of local business succeed. His attitude is about success and what is right. When the snowstorm issue arose the other year with the Mayor's lack of direction, it was Dan who put his number out and told people to contact him, not Acropolis. He doesn't hide like the rest, but stands in front to take any criticism without prejudice or malice. As someone else wrote earlier, he takes a salary for Councilman. A part time job that could barely pay taxes OR utilities in Brick. Get real. He doesn't showboat and doesn't live extravagant. He is just like Joe Public and respects the working man. He has got my vote!

Mr. GA , in all due fairness, please submit supporting info as to what wrong he has done. I can make a laundry list for the current administration as it sits. How much "worse" could Dan make it? Please submit facts to back you. I am interested.

Dan Toth had been doing exactly the same thing and had been in on everything that Acropolis, Brando, Sangiovanni, Deluca, Matthews, Ruth Ann Scaturo, and Thulen had been doing up until the last election. Dan Toth saw the election results and started distancing himself from the GOP members. He would do well to now distance himself from the current dem council people because they are disliked more than Acrapolis. Out of all the GOP mentioned above, I would venture to say that Thulen is the most trustwothy. Too bad that is the same as being the tallest person in a room full of midgets or the same thing as being the smartest kid in summer school.

Fiscal Conservative: Your comments concerning non-partisan government are well stated! See my reply to Mary Lou Powner above. Also, I would like to add that Dan Toth earned my respect after former mayor Dan Newman, a Democrat, passed away. A controversy developed about the American flag at town hall being put at half mast to honor the late mayor, but current mayor Acropolis ordered the flag to be raised. Republican Dan Toth defied the mayor and lowered the flag back down. That took courage that few others possess! This doesn't mean he is necessarily mayor material, but it does speak volumes about his character.

Danny lowered the flag wonderful, why not lower our taxes “ I helped find magazine subscription to cut” we would have been impressed if you found the $21,000 it cost for your Cadillac health plan to cut!

WOW! The Republican Party hasn't selected a candidate in Brick and the naysayers are velifying Dan Toth. I have been a Democrat since I can remember now I am a Republican. I didn't leave the Party my Party left me. Brick needs a change, a good change and Dan Toth is the right candidate for Mayor. He has my vote!

I spoke to a member of the Brick Republican club and at their meeting tonight they told Danny Boy NO!

Maybe this is the incorrect place to ask, but a few council meetings ago, you'll all remember that the Council delayed the meeting by about 20 minutes....leaving everyone in the room waiting. That delay was caused by the Council with the attorney trying last minute to add liens to peoples homes who were going to need debris removal, whether you lived on the island or inland. Then it was removed from the vote. Which council person had the idea to do that in the first place? thank you.

Theres too much going on now for this fella to run,Politics, Ethics,Lawyers,Scams, leaving the Brick GOP, going independent ? what could possibly be next?
After Dan cleans up this mess, maybe in a couple years he can try to run again, either for the Dems or continue the path of a independent perhaps?
