people of the Garden State, but the whole country.

Senate
If you’re ready to get to work electing a true Democratic trifecta in
November, [ [link removed] ]register for our Majority Over MAGA Weekend of Action Kickoff
call on Thursday, June 13 at 8pm ET/5pm PT.
Whether you’ve been following this race or this is the first time you’re
tuning in, we cannot overstate how celebration-worthy tonight’s news truly
is. Andy built a winning grassroots coalition and overcame all the
obstacles this race put in his path including:
* Outmaneuvering the party’s anointed front-runner -- Tammy Murphy, the
governor’s wife
* Pulling out a surprise victory at the first state convention in
Monmouth County
* Taking down the corrupt machine’s county line ballot
But this win isn’t just about Andy Kim or about the incredible trajectory
of his campaign -- it’s about the power of Indivisibles to change the
outcome of this race. It’s a truth we’ve seen time and again across the
country: When Indivisible groups get behind a candidate in a tangible way,
they become an unstoppable force for that candidate.
The story:
New Jersey Indivisibles backed Andy Kim early in this primary because
they recognized his dedication to pro-democracy values. In fact,
endorsing Andy Kim was one of the first official actions taken by New
Jersey’s statewide network, Indivisible One New Jersey (IONJ). IONJ saw
the rare, once-in-a-generation opportunity to elect a principled public
servant whose actions and values are aligned with voters across New
Jersey, and reject the deep corruption and self-enriching schemes of
their incumbent Senator Bob “Gold Bars” Menendez -- currently on trial
for federal bribery changes.
The network generated so much energy and enthusiasm for his candidacy
that a statewide endorsement was inevitable, and we were proud to
announce our national endorsement alongside IONJ’s. Since then, IONJ
mobilized for weeks to talk to voters, deepen connections between
members, level up their activism, and learn how to be more effective
agents of change at the local, state, and federal level.
This was all possible because of the unifying power elections can have on
us all. Even in the face of corrupt political machines, the candidates
they anoint, and the anti-democratic systems they create, when
Indivisibles come together, our power is undeniable.
But this race is far from over. Disgraced Senator Menendez is not backing
down, and just filed to run in the general election as an independent. We
know he’s only running to cover his legal bills, not out of a sense of
duty to the people of his state, and New Jersey simply deserves better.
But the stakes are high this November, and alongside so many other races
across the country, we cannot take any chances -- we must do the work now
to ensure we win a true trifecta this November. Here’s what’s next:

Congratulations again to Andy Kim and his campaign, and to all the
remarkable Indivisibles and activists in New Jersey who were audacious
enough to go against the odds and pave the path for this moment. Tonight’s
win is yours -- the shift from improbability to inevitability in Andy
Kim's Senate candidacy is a testament to the remarkable power of
grassroots organizing. Together, you’ve accomplished the unthinkable and
given us hope that people power will always win.
In solidarity,
Indivisible Team
P.S. Andy Kim is just one of our endorsed candidates this cycle. We’re
planning a nationwide voter contact program to reach as many voters as we
can to defeat MAGA and elect these pro-choice, pro-democracy champions --
and as a grassroots movement, we rely on small donations like yours to
make it possible. [ [link removed] ]Click here chip in $10, or whatever you can, to fund
the tools, ads, canvassing supplies, and everything else it’ll take to win
in November.
