As Democrats, we stand for a better future for each and every one of us. No matter who your favorite candidate for president is, we’re all united around a vision for a country with a level playing field. That’s why we cannot afford to let our differences define our party. We cannot afford four more years of President Trump. As we begin to prepare for election day, it’s important to remember what we Democrats are fighting for. Together, we will come together to put a stop to President Trump’s dangerous agenda. Click here to pitch in and help us build our movement to support Democrats up and down the ballot this November.

Congressman Andy Kim was elected on a promise to deliver for his constituents in Burlington and Ocean counties, and he has consistently lived up to that since taking office. This week, Rep. Kim launched an innovative new tool to help his constituents navigate the federal government bureaucracy, with a dedicated web portal for residents who have questions about a wide variety of services.

Senator Booker ended his inspiring and courageous campaign for President this week. His bold, progressive agenda made all of us in New Jersey extremely proud to be represented by him every day in Washington. Although his campaign for President has ended, Cory’s ideas and his willingness to challenge the status quo will live on throughout this primary and beyond. I wholeheartedly endorse his re-election to the U.S. Senate this November. We are extraordinarily fortunate to have such an outstanding representative fighting for us all.
Thank you,
Chairman John Currie
