My name is Bob Stern. I am the chairperson for the City of Beach Haven within the Ocean County Democratic Committee. Other committee members represent towns in Southern Ocean County that are within the Second Congressional District, covering South Jersey.
As far as we are concerned, the Van Drew Party switching episode is over. We want to look ahead to getting a House representative for the Second Congressional District who will put the interest of his/her constituents first, and fight for higher wages, more affordable health care and constraining rising consumer prices.
We are attempting to put our party on a path to find the best candidate to do that.
The Democratic Party is united and poised for a win in the Second Congressional District in November 2020. We did it in 2018 because the voters realized the urgency of taking back the House. It has certainly proved to be of the utmost importance in maintaining our democratic ideals, which are to uphold the Constitution – the rule of law.
While we were upset over Van Drew’s vote on inquiry and impeachment, we are thrilled to know the Republican Party can deal with him now.
What we insist on is a fair and balanced process to elect the next party nominee. We have and expect more great candidates.
The Second Congressional District is historically a red district. Every vote in the far corners of this wide and meandering district will count. We need to feel certain about the nominee in order to inspire and motivate Democrats, independents and moderate Republicans to vote for our candidate.
Early endorsements of candidates are divisive and run counter to getting that broad support. We are calling for a vigorous competition among candidates and one open convention of all the counties in the Second Congressional District by February 2020.
Cape May County – Inept, clueless, inadequate don't even scratch the surface of "NOLA's" police chief, mayor and governor, I cringe at the thought of two more major events happening soon, did you…
