for Immediate Release

The New Jersey Federation of Democratic Women (NJFDW) proudly announces its 2026 slate of endorsed Democratic women candidates alongside the launch of its Inaugural Male Allyship Acknowledgment, a new statewide recognition honoring male candidates who demonstrate exceptional commitment to gender equity and inclusive leadership.

Together, these announcements reflect NJFDW’s mission to strengthen democracy, elevate women’s leadership, and champion community-centered advocacy across New Jersey. The Federation remains steadfast in uplifting leaders, women, and allies who advance equity, justice, and opportunity for all families.

NJFDW’s endorsed candidates represent diverse communities and shared dedication to protecting voting rights, reproductive freedom, economic dignity, and safe, thriving neighborhoods. These leaders embody the values that define the Federation: integrity, service, and an unwavering commitment to the people of New Jersey.

“Democracy is strongest when every American has the power to participate fully and freely. Our 2026 endorsed candidates embody that promise. They are women and allies who fight every day for voting rights, reproductive freedom, economic dignity, and safe, thriving communities. NJFDW is proud to stand with leaders who understand that voting is not just a civic duty; it is the voice of the American people, and it must be protected at all costs.” - Rachel Green, MPA,  and Roberta Walters, Co-President of NJFDW

This endorsement cycle reflects the best of New Jersey. Our candidates are public servants who listen, who lead with compassion, and who deliver results. At a time when fundamental rights are under attack nationally, these leaders are stepping forward with courage and clarity. NJFDW is honored to support candidates who champion fairness, opportunity, and the future our families deserve.
