November Young Dem of the Month

Congratulations to our November Young Dem of the Month, PJ Casey! PJ serves as the Executive Assistant for the New Jersey Young Democrats, where he provides vital operational support to meet organizational goals. He also serves on the Essex County Young Democrats leadership team and as the Sergeant at Arms for the Essex County Democratic Committee, supporting initiatives throughout Essex County. He is a dynamic and driven young professional with a deep passion for politics, law, and public service, and actively organizes initiatives that engage young voters and advance progressive policies. In addition, PJ serves as a field organizer with the New Jersey Coordinated Campaign, supporting the election efforts of Andy Kim for Senate and other Democratic candidates across the state.

A Felician University graduate with a double major in Business Management and Social and Behavioral Sciences, PJ also holds a Pre-Law minor, reinforcing his interest in law and policy. At Felician, he led the Honors Student Government as President, modernizing its constitution to improve communication between faculty and students. As a scholarship recipient, he was a standout athlete, playing Division II lacrosse. His student-athlete experience instilled discipline, teamwork, and resilience, qualities he now applies to his work in politics and public service.

Currently preparing for the LSAT, PJ aims to merge his passion for politics and law, striving to use legal and political avenues to benefit his community. He is also a passionate learner with diverse interests. He has a deep love for history, politics, and government, frequently immersing himself in literature and media that explore these topics. With a commitment to service, PJ looks forward to a career dedicated to creating positive change and protecting Democratic values. Congratulations, PJ!
