Laura Fortgang Endorsed for State Assembly by Women’s Political Caucus of New Jersey

VERONA, NJ (Sept. 25, 2019)—Laura Fortgang, the Democratic challenger for New Jersey
State Assembly in the 26 th Legislative District, has earned the endorsement of the Women’s
Political Caucus of New Jersey.

The Women's Political Caucus of New Jersey works to advance the participation of women in
the political process; increase the number of women in elected and appointed office;
protect reproductive freedom and establish a political power base to achieve equality for all
women.

“I’m so honored to receive the endorsement of the bipartisan Women's Political Caucus of
New Jersey, whose members come from every political party to join in the work towards
equality for all,” Fortgang said. “There should be no party lines in the work for equal
representation in politics, fair treatment and pay in the workplace or autonomy for our life
choices. Until women are represented in government in numbers equal to our presence in the
population, our work is not done. Policies that affect the unique aspects of life for women,
especially reproductive rights, must be shaped by female stakeholders. Thank you to WPC for
working to promote women into political power to achieve equal representation,” Fortgang
said.
