Action Together New Jersey believes in supporting candidates who will forward progressive legislation that will provide jobs for working families, enact sensible gun safety laws to keep our children safe from harm, and supporting healthcare for New Jerseyans.

“I am so proud to be endorsed by Action Together New Jersey.  I have had the honor to stand with these women as far back as the first women’s march.  Your endorsement inspires me, it empowers me, and it also touches my heart. Action together New Jersey is that largest, most organized and productive progressive group in the state.  Thank you for putting the weight of your amazing members behind me in these final days. Standing together, we will win June 5th.  Thank you for honoring me with your endorsement.” said Tanzie Youngblood.
