Democrat,

Sunday marks 100 days until Election Day and we’re full steam ahead. As Donald Trump and his loyal follower Jack Ciattarelli continue to promote harmful and unpopular policies, Mikie Sherrill is standing tough against their overreach and building a powerful coalition of support throughout this state.

From day one, Mikie’s sounded the alarm on Trump’s price hike budget and the majority of New Jerseyans agree this is a terrible bill for our state. A new poll shows voters want a governor who opposes this legislation, instead of one that proudly backs it—like Ciattarelli. Not only does this law raise healthcare premiums and utility bills, it also screws shore towns. For the first time in time in nearly thirty years, the Jersey Shore is getting ZERO federal funding for critical beach replenishment projects. But who’s surprised Ciattarelli supports this law that harms a beloved attraction and major economic driver in our state? He’s the same guy who voted against Sandy relief when he was in the state house.  

Additionally, Trump’s approval rating continues to drop. Who could’ve imagined that cutting healthcare for seniors and children while giving tax breaks to the wealthy would turn so many against him? Yet, Jack Ciattarelli has stated that there’s nothing he disagrees with the president on. This is why we must elect Mikie Sherrill as our next governor.  

I also want to congratulate Fatima Heyward on being elected President of Young Democrats of America! I know she’ll do great work energizing younger voters throughout our country as we head into the upcoming elections. 

— Chairman LeRoy J. Jones, Jr.    

Donald Trump told his supporters that once he was president the Epstein files would be released and predators would be exposed. Yet, here we are six months into his term and he’s doing everything he can to keep them secret and divert people’s attention from the truth. Why? His own Attorney General told him in the spring what we all knew: Trump is named in these files. 

What's worse? Rather than grow a backbone and stand up for what’s right, Republicans are fleeing the Capitol to avoid releasing the Epstein files to cover for Donald Trump. New Jerseyans expect their elected officials to deliver results, not to protect predators and take extended vacations on the taxpayer's dime. This latest move, after passing Trump’s price hike budget, demonstrates to NJ voters Congressmen Tom Kean Jr., Jeff Van Drew, and Chris Smith are only looking out for the rich and the powerful, not our families.

This week, Mikie Sherrill announced her pick for Lieutenant Governor: Dr. Dale Caldwell.

Dr. Caldwell is an educator, pastor, and community leader with a wealth of experience serving our state. He shares Mikie's vision for a stronger, more affordable New Jersey and is committed to working alongside her to tackle the real challenges our state faces. Every day, the energy around Mikie’s campaign just keeps increasing. Let’s keep the momentum going and work hard to get Mikie and Dale elected.

While Mikie Sherrill is standing up for New Jersey, Jack Ciattarelli is siding with Trump’s cruel, mass deportation agenda. This week, Mikie called the Trump administration’s plan to house detained migrants at Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst “unacceptable,” exposing how it misuses one of New Jersey’s most critical military assets and undermines our national security. Instead of doing what’s best for New Jersey, Ciattarelli is blaming Democrats and siding with Trump’s extreme policies that only divide our state. 

Kim Fights for FEMA Funds
Senator Andy Kim is demanding the Trump administration release overdue security grants for cities and ports. The funding, meant for preventing terrorism, has been delayed while the administration cuts billions from FEMA’s budget. Kim is leading the charge to ensure New Jersey gets the resources it needs to keep communities safe.

Booker Stands Against Bove’s Nomination
Senator Cory Booker is taking a stand against Emil Bove’s nomination to the Third Circuit Court of Appeals. Democrats walked out of the Senate Judiciary Committee in protest after Republicans rushed the vote. Bove, linked to Trump’s deportation agenda, faces serious allegations of violating court orders, and Booker is rightfully calling for a full investigation before any vote.

This Sunday marks just 100 days until Election Day and the time to fight is now! Let’s keep the momentum going and get organized this summer. Volunteer today.
