Democrat,

New Jersey hit a milestone this week -- over 1 million votes have now been cast in the 2020 General Election, and Election Day is still more than two weeks away. This is absolutely unprecedented, and we can thank the reforms instituted by Governor Murphy and Democrats in the State Legislature for making it happen. From mailing ballots to all active registered voters, to providing secure ballot drop boxes across the state, to instituting online voter registration and more, New Jersey is making it easier than ever for people to exercise their right to vote, and our democracy is better for it. 

Just because we’ve got a head start doesn’t mean we can be complacent though -- we need to do everything we can to run through the finish line in this crucial election. Make sure to return your Vote by Mail ballot and lock in your vote. You can sign up for our NJDSC Weekly Phonebank/Vote Chase on our Volunteer Hub. And if you can make a small donation, do it now to make sure we have the resources we need to win this election.

Governor Murphy is working to boost Democratic candidates throughout the state with both virtual and in person campaign events and much more. Earlier this week, the Governor traveled to Atlantic City to join Amy Kennedy for a roundtable discussion with local union leaders on how to move the local economy forward and create greater opportunities for working families.

P.S. -- On behalf of the NJDSC, I want to offer my heartfelt condolences on the passing of Steve Adubato, Sr., one of our state’s most influential political and community leaders for the past five decades. Steve was an icon and he leaves an incredible legacy of public service and activism. Read Governor Murphy’s tribute to Steve here.
