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

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

political avenues to benefit his community. He is also a passionate
