Democrat,

In 2018, Democrats rode a Blue Wave to take control of the House of Representatives in a stunning election night that ran right through New Jersey. We flipped four longtime Republican held districts and elected an 11-1 Democratic delegation that night for the first time in decades. But one Republican held on, and this year we are working to defeat Congressman Chris Smith with an excellent new leader in Stephanie Schmid. Meet Stephanie and hear about her extensive record of public service and her vision for the 4th District here: 

You can learn more about Stephanie and support her campaign on her website. She’s taking on a 40 year incumbent (YES, 40 YEARS!), but with your support she can defeat Chris Smith and we can elect a former foreign services officer, human rights advocate, lawyer and someone who will fight for our families, our values, and our communities in Washington. 

Why is it so important to beat Chris Smith? Let’s count the ways: 

• He’s a lockstep supporter of Donald Trump who refused to hold him accountable again and again
• He has a 0% score from NARAL Pro Choice America and is a consistent opponent of a woman’s right to choose
• He’s voted numerous times to repeal Obamacare, a disastrous position that would take health coverage away from thousands of families in Monmouth, Ocean and Mercer counties. 

There are so many more reasons why Chris Smith has to be defeated, and we can do it with your help. Donate today to help NJDSC support excellent candidates like Stephanie Schmid and other Democrats throughout the state.
