The ad, “The Reason,” highlights Assembly Candidate Mitchelle Drulis and team while contrasting with the Republican slate.

Today, the 16th District Democrats released a television ad for Assembly Candidate Mitchelle Drulis. The ad, which is the first televised ad of the 2023 cycle in the 16th District, features Drulis, her daughter, Senator Andrew Zwicker, and Assemblyman Roy Freiman.

If elected, Drulis would be the first Democrat from Hunterdon County to represent the 16th Legislative District in over 40 years. Prior to running for Assembly, Drulis served as District Director for Rep. Tom Malinowski and as Chief of Staff to Assemblyman Joseph Egan.

Script: Being a mom means she’s the reason I smile. But also the reason I worry. I worry about affording to stay here. I worry about her basic rights and freedoms.

Andrew Zwicker and Roy Freiman are fighting to protect our right to choose. I’m Mitchelle Drulis and she’s the reason I am too.
