The mission of the Ocean County Democratic Women is to recruit, train, and support women candidates at all levels of government, and advocate for the rights and interests of women voters.  We are proud to have thirteen women running for office in Ocean County.  Through the generosity of our members and donors, we were able to distribute $4,500 in funds amongst these stellar candidates.

We also extend our well wishes to our male Democratic running mates, who are allies in the fight for women’s rights, on these November 5th tickets: Wayne Lewis (LD9), David Lande (LD12) Josh Eckersley and Mario Ciasulli (Berkeley), Vince Minichino and Art Halloran (Brick), Derek Reichenbecher (Point Pleasant), and Drew Boyle and Jonathan Petro (Toms River Council and Mayor).
