Democracy for America, the country's largest progressive political action community, today announced its endorsement of Linda Stender for Congress in New Jersey's 7th District.
DFA chair Jim Dean:
"Linda Stender has been working for change her whole career.... Thanks to the hard work of DFA members on the ground in groups like New Jersey for Democracy and Hunterdon DFA, Linda came within 3,000 votes of winning her election for Congress in 2006.... This year Linda will take it over the top and deliver a powerful victory for Democrats in November."
Linda Stender:
"The deep-seeded desire for change that has sparked passionate organizing campaigns across the country is also fueling our campaign here in the 7th district, along with others up and down the ticket. I am incredibly grateful for the DFA community?s early support. Together, we will win in November and work together to fight for New Jersey families."
So many of us worked hard for Linda in 2006, and this year we have the chance to seal the deal. Let's celebrate! Come out this Sunday and join Linda and the Hunterdon and Somerset DFA groups at a picnic at the FREE concert on stage at beautiful, riverside Duke Island Park (near the middle of NJ-7, in Somerset County). All the details are here. See you there.
