Since 2004, activists in New Jersey have come together to
build a progressive powerhouse at every level of the state. Here
are two candidates from that community who are taking the next
step.
Gina
Genovese, running for State Senate from the 21st -- that's in
Union, Essex, Morris and Somerset Counties -- was the first
Democrat ever elected as Mayor of Long Hill, and became the
highest-ranking openly gay official in the state. During her
tenure, she opened the budget process to the public and signed
the U.S. Mayors Climate Protection Agreement. Gina has opened
doors for the LGBT and progressive communities in her town while
working to build a sustainable future. Visit her website to help
her get to Trenton!

Ed
Zipprich has been a Democracy for America activist for years;
he's attended the DFA Training Academy and Night School. Now
he's running for a seat on Red Bank's City Council. A leader of
Monmouth for Democracy, and a member of the New Jersey Stonewall
Democrats and Democracy for New Jersey, Ed has helped to build
New Jersey's progressive community from the grassroots up. Let's
show him our thanks by helping him win his race:

To borrow a line from Monmouth for Democracy, we're taking
back our country, one neighbor at a time. Gina and Ed have been
reaching out to their neighbors for many years. Please take a
moment to support them any way you can.
Sincerely,
Jim Dean
Chair
Democracy for America
P.S. You can join Gina and Morris County DFA at the
Democratic Reunion Summit Canvass on Saturday July 28. Just
