Today the shore continues to attract thousands to the summer homes in the area, but more and more people are living there year-round and commuting to North Jersey and even Manhattan. The flatlands behind the beaches have been the area of greatest growth recently. Most of Monmouth County is in New Jersey's 3rd district, which traditionally has been Republican. However, since 1964, the district has been represented by Democrat James Howard. He has generally down well despite his liberal record. His GOP opponent is Ralph Siciliano, a 34-year-old electrical engineer from Red Bank. Siciliano is described as a good candidate, but a long-shot to win. He has a B.S. from Manhattan College and a master's from New Jersey Institute of Technology. He is married and has two children. Democratic Senator Harrison Williams is seeking his fourth term. His GOP opponent is David Norcross, a 40-year-old Trenton lawyer. Norcross is a graduate of the University of Delaware. He attended law school at the University of Pennsylvania. He is married and has two children. An attractive candidate, he is not given a very good chance of winning. The PFC contact in New Jersey, Tony Chiatello advises against any comment about casino gambling. The issue is very hot, and it is on the ballot in the state. Also, a state income tax recently went into effect, and the voters are very sensitive about taxes in general and big government. He also says it is very important to emphasize the President's consistency and dependability. -0-
