Hi John,

We at the MCDC are incredibly proud of the work our community has done this past month to support those affected by the COVID-19 crisis. We are also pleased to announce that this April, 40+ Democratic candidates throughout Morris County officially filed their petitions to run for office! From organizing food drives, raising funds, to wellness calls, these candidates have already hit the ground running supporting their communities. Be sure to be on the lookout for their events! MCDC will be hosting a social event, candidate and van training via Zoom this month as well. We look forward to connecting with you throughout the month of May!

Stay home, safe, and healthy.
