Demeaning text messages sent by a Republican state committeeman have exposed cracks in the Hudson County minority party’s unity.
The revelation of the messages, in which GOP state Committeeman Joshua Sotomayor-Einstein admitted to emotionally abusing a woman, have thrust the usually low-key Hudson County Republicans into the spotlight, highlighting a simmering discord over the party’s future.
“We have two sides of our parties digging in their heels, and they both have different ideas on how to run things, and they seem to be trying to take each other out,” said Jennifer Zinone, a Bayonne Republican who won 40,298 votes last year in an unsuccessful bid for the U.S. House of Representatives.

The Hudson County Regional Collision Investigation Unit is investigating a hit-and-run incident in which a 44-year-old woman was struck and seriously injured while cycling on Routes 1 & 9 South in Kearny around this morning, County Prosecutor Esther Suarez said in a statement.
The driver who struck her fled the scene and members of the Kearny Police Department responded to the area, which is near Jacobus Avenue, just before 8 a.m., on reports of a cyclist struck with serious injuries.
The victim, a 44-year-old Harrison woman, was transported to the Jersey City Medical Center, where she is listed in critical but stable condition.
