We just wrapped up an election, and all anyone can talk about is… the next election! With Governor-Elect Mikie Sherrill moving on to Trenton, the gears are moving for a special election primary (and then general) to choose her successor in the House of Representatives. And we’ve already got A LOT of candidates who have thrown their hats into the ring for the Dem nomination!
It says a lot about Governor-Elect Mikie Sherrill’s legacy, NJ 11th for Change’s work these past nine (!) years, and the national importance of holding New Jersey’s 11th Congressional district overall, that we have this incredible field of candidates stepping up to represent us. We are here for this deep bench moment! Holy cow!!
THE POWER OF US.
As we’ve said for years now, NJ 11th for Change will not endorse in this or any other primary elections. Are we still going to be involved? With energy like this, we can’t help but be involved!
You may have seen by now that we are planning two candidate meet and greet events for December. We launched our Essex event last week and the response has been, um, intense. So intense we outgrew the venue.
Don’t worry. We booked a bigger venue.
If you have previously registered for the NJ 11th for Change Candidate Meet & Greet Essex County, you will receive an email from Mobilize with an updated venue.
Also, we are pleased to announce NJ 11th for Change Candidate Meet & Greet Morris County on Saturday, December 13th at 10am. The format will be the same as our Essex event–we have invited all the candidates vying for the Democratic nomination to represent the 11th to join us to introduce themselves and their platform to the members of NJ 11th for Change. There will also be time to mingle and get to know the individual candidates.
In order to make space for as many attendees as we can, we ask you to only attend ONE event. If you have registered and cannot attend, please cancel your registration as we expect these events will be filled to capacity. We will not be livestreaming these events, but we will record them and share.
And just think, for a minute there, we almost thought we would get some down time.
One more thing: NJ 11th for Change is committed to informing voters like you through events like these, but they do cost money. Your donation will directly help us continue to meet our mission of advocating for all people of NJ’s 11th district! Please and thank you.
P.S. With almost every vote now counted, Governor-Elect Mikie Sherrill’s lead is up to 14.4%.
