We're all upset about Representative Van Drew switching to the Republican party so he can turn his back on his constituents and give his "undying support" to Trump. We're especially upset about how the party line in New Jersey works and how the people have very little control in who gets elected, with candidates instead being picked and pushed through by party bosses. We had much better Democratic candidates in CD-02 last year, including one that ATNJ endorsed, but instead, the party bosses forced Van Drew on us and this is the result. Now, mere days after Van Drew declared he's joining the GOP, the Democratic party bosses have already picked their candidate for next year and Democratic County Chairs have already begun endorsing her - with no input from County Committee members, let alone constituents.
In response to all this, Action Together New Jersey is one of the signers of this open letter to the South Jersey Committee Chairs
