New Jersey for Democracy is proud to announce its 2008 slate of
endorsements. While there are many worthy candidates that DFA members
throughout the state are supporting and working to elect, these
endorsed candidates are more than just the best fiscally responsible,
socially progressive choices for November. They have also demonstrated
a commitment to embrace the people-powered grassroots activism that is
so important to our democracy. They represent a diverse slate of
outstanding candidates from the top of the ticket to the bottom,
representing every part of New Jersey. They deserve our wholehearted
support.
Tuesday, November 4th is an historic opportunity -
be a part of it! There are less than 10 days left, and the remaining
time is critical to get these hard-working candidates over the finish
line. Please get involved to support the following NJ4D-endorsed
candidates:
Federal races:
Barack Obama for President -
The big prize – winning back the White House this year – is going to
take all our efforts and all our strength. We can change the map
notonly around the country, but throughout New Jersey. No more red and
blue places – just a new hope for the future of our nation.
Frank Lautenberg for U.S. Senate - A progressive hero, and unabashedly so. Endorsed nationally by DFA, Senator Lautenberg is a champion of our ideals, and will play a huge role in an expanded Democratic majority.
Linda Stender for Congress - Also nationally-endorsed by DFA, Linda’s race is among the most exciting in the country this year. DFA members helped fuel her campaign in 2006, and are back to put Linda over the top this year.
Tom Wyka for Congress - A homegrown hero, Tom is a DFA
member who took up the call in 2006 to run for Congress. This year Tom
is poised to win in a tough district – Tom needs your support to win a
plurality for Democrats in New Jersey.
Dennis Shulman for Congress
- Against an incumbent DFA members have targetted for the last 2
cycles, Dennis has defied the experts and taken his underdog campaign
to the brink of victory. Fueled by netroots support and grassroots
energy, we can finish the job.
Local races:
Dan Benson for Mercer County Freeholder
Cecilia Burge and Doug Singleterry for Somerset County Freeholder
Ed Zipprich and Juanita Lewis for Red Bank Council
Marianne Rampulla and Chan Leung for Raritan Township Council
Doris Lin and Jennie Mistretta for Freehold Township Committee
New

socially progressive candidates for every level of elective office.
