I live in the area and can tell you that there has been a bad anti Semitic backlash as Orthodox Jews began to move into new towns around Lakewood, NJ. It is not limited to the Republican party at all. Criticism in Jackson happens to be focused on the Republican party because they have been in power and many of the individuals caught making some awful, unmistakably anti-Semitic comments happen to be Republicans.
I live in Bricktown. I am not anti-Semitic but zoning laws seem to be lax to say the least in Lakewood since it seems every available place is occupied by a synagogue and yeshiva and trying to get down County Line Ave around 3 in the afternoon can take forever.
