Happy Holidays from NJYD

As we enter the holiday season, we want to thank each and every one of you for your hard work, dedication, and passion for building a better future. Whether you knocked on doors, made phone calls, attended rallies, or supported in other ways, your efforts have made a difference! 

This holiday season, let’s take time to reflect on our shared victories and learnings, spend quality moments with loved ones, and recharge for the year ahead. Together, we’ll continue to fight for progress and ensure that the voices of young people across New Jersey are heard loud and clear. 

Happy Holidays from the New Jersey Young Democrats!


December Young Dem of the Month

Congratulations to our December Young Dem of the Month, Jarquiza Ayers! Jarquiza is the Constituent Service Manager for Congresswoman Bonnie Watson Coleman and serves as President of the Burlington County Young Democrats (BCYD).

A Rutgers University graduate with a degree in criminal justice, Jarquiza began her professional career at the Congresswoman's office, which represents New Jersey's 12th Congressional District. Based on her contributions, Congresswoman Bonnie Watson Coleman nominated Jarquiza to participate in the Congressional Black Caucus Institute Bootcamp (CBCI). This provided her with the necessary tools to make an impact.

Her commitment to serving the public has brought about new opportunities, including her role as President of the Burlington County Young Democrats. As BCYD President, Jarquiza aims to create new spaces for young professionals to get involved both professionally and politically. Her dedication to public service earned her a national spot as a 2023 New Jersey Young Democrats delegate for the Young Democrats of America Convention.

A proud New Jersey native, Jarquiza is committed to always putting people over politics, ensuring her service is impactful and community-focused. Join us in recognizing her remarkable dedication, leadership, and unwavering commitment to public service!


YDA Winter Meeting

From December 6th-8th, Young Democrats from across the country gathered in Boston, Massachusetts, for the Young Democrats of America (YDA) Winter Meeting hosted by the Young Democrats of Massachusetts (YDMA). We’re grateful to YDMA for their incredible hospitality and for organizing such a meaningful experience.

It was a weekend full of workshops, networking, and action plans for the upcoming year, and NJYD was proud to be part of it! Special thanks to the New Jersey Young Democrats who showed up and represented the Garden State. A highlight for New Jersey was hearing from Senator-elect Andy Kim, who delivered an inspiring video address to attendees!

With 2024 wrapping up, NJYD is ready to take everything we’ve learned and push forward with even greater momentum in the new year!
