The DLCC is targeting 12 Spotlight candidates to protect the Democratic majority in the New Jersey Assembly
WASHINGTON — Today, the Democratic Legislative Campaign Committee (DLCC) announced a six-figure investment to support New Jersey Assembly Democrats running in key campaigns to protect the chamber’s Democratic majority. This builds on the DLCC’s investment in August.
The New Jersey Assembly is one of the two legislative chambers in the country on the ballot this November, and the DLCC has zeroed in on 12 Spotlight candidates running in the most competitive races to mitigate the economic devastation caused by Trump’s agenda.
Democratic Legislative Campaign Committee President Heather Williams issued the following statement:
“In the final weeks of the campaign, the DLCC is running through the tape and investing to protect our strongest Democratic incumbents and flip some of the GOP’s most vulnerable districts in the New Jersey Assembly. New Jersey Republicans refuse to acknowledge or stand up to Trump’s failing economic agenda, which is hurting the people of their state. We’re proud to be supporting New Jersey Democrats who are stepping up to protect their communities.”
The Democratic Legislative Campaign Committee (DLCC) is the campaign arm of Democratic state legislatures and leads the national strategy for building power and winning new majorities. Over the last three decades, we have strategized cycle over cycle to win majorities and lead the effort to bring national attention and investment to our ballot level, winning nearly a dozen new chamber majorities over the last decade. Our work has ensured that nearly half of Americans are represented by at least one Democratic majority in their statehouse. State legislatures are the building blocks of our democracy and have the closest connections to Americans’ day-to-day lives. From protecting fundamental freedoms and voting rights to growing the middle class and advancing opportunity, the DLCC and state legislators are moving the Democratic agenda forward and shaping the future of this country.
