people,
not politics
For the first time in decades, the Democrats of NJ’s 3rd Legislative District have a choice in the June 6 primary election. It’s time for us to come together to claim a new vision: safe neighborhoods, good paying jobs with benefits, investments in local economies, making home ownership a reality, a clean environment, easing the burden of student loans, restoring COLAs for retired workers, and fully-funding our public schools.
As three teachers, union members, and community advocates, we’ve come together to create one voice around the issues that matter most to you. Our focus is on solutions - not politics.
With your help, we can make our district a leading example of what it looks like to put people first!
