Who Found Bodmer: The Search Continues

People have been asking for months about how Rich Bodmer was chosen to run for town council.

The Republican leadership committee often seeks out a candidate to endorse and place on the committee line ballot.

Rob Benacchio is the Vice Chair of the leadership committee of the Westfield Town Republican committee. Rob Benacchio also works for Joe Nitti.

Some of you may recall the name Joe Nitti.  Joe Nitti and Rich Bodmer have been past business partners, all the way back to the Plainfield Clubhouse days and most recently in 2015 with the opening of a semi-revival of the Clubhouse located at the Rio Restaurant on Rt. 22 in Union.

We may never know how the 2nd ward was chosen but these are interesting details.

Some of you may recall the name Joe Nitti from his text that went viral.
