This is from APAC's website

What is ap|action's mission?
ap|action's mission is to encourage and facilitate the involvement 
of gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgendered residents of Asbury Park 
in local political issues that affect our community and our City. 
ap|action conducts voter outreach and education campaigns, supports 
the election of fair-minded and effective local officials, and works 
with local officials on issues of importance to the gay, lesbian, 
bisexual and transgendered community.

I assume that APAC wants to maintain the status quo because it 
believes it will promote their mission. Loffredo and Johnson are 
part of the gay and lesbian community. Bruno I believe performed the 
marriage of Ric Best and Louis Navarette (whose house I purchased), 
and I guess Sanders is also considered friendly to its aims.

I can see picking Johnson and Loffredo because they are part of the 
community, but I don't know why APAC would not think that the other 
candidates would not be as friendly as Bruno and Sanders.

Johnson has said all the right things and I beleive he is a good 
candidate but feel Loffredo may have been compromised by to Asbury 
Partners. Despite their mission, I hope they believe that Loffredo 
has been doing a good job whether or not he is part of the gay and 
lesbian community since our main concerns should be first as 
citizens and not gay or straight citizens.

The only other choice is that APAC is happy with the job they have 
been doing or have other motives for maintaining the status quo. If 
their endorsement comes to fruition, there will still be a majority 
voting block for Asbury Partners with Sanders, Bruno and Loffredo, I 
thin Johnson is his own man and shares many of our concerns.
