Coalition Member,
We wanted to reach out again to thank everyone who came out to one of our many events in June and to make sure you know what we have coming up in July!
As part of the ongoing project to re-launch our caucuses, we are very excited to be re-introducing our new Veterans Caucus this month. It will be focused on listening to and fighting for the vibrant Veteran community in New Jersey.
Below is an introduction video from Rep. Mikie Sherrill that fully encompasses how important it is for us to have a dedicated Veterans Caucus.
