The National Jewish Democratic Council (NJDC) announced today that it is launching an unprecedented Jewish outreach effort for the upcoming New Jersey election. NJDC’s wide-ranging New Jersey project will include field organizers, advertising, direct mail, literature drops, trainings, surrogate speaking, phone banking, and canvassing.

“Jewish voters will face important choices when going to the voting booth, and NJDC wants to make sure they have the facts and vote on November 3,” said Linda Berg, NJDC’s Political Director. “The polling for this year’s election in New Jersey demonstrates that the race is very close. We estimate Jewish voter turnout to be approximately 240,000 voters, which could make the difference in this election.”

To educate Jewish voters, NJDC’s New Jersey outreach team will address important issues such as reproductive freedom, stem cell research, health care, gun control, and strengthening the economic partnership between Israel and New Jersey. 

NJDC’s New Jersey outreach team includes Project Director Jill LaZare and Andrew Rosen who will be organizing southern New Jersey.

“There are stark differences between the Republican and Democratic candidates in New Jersey on issues that Jewish voters care deeply about. NJDC is excited to launch this unprecedented outreach effort to educate Jewish voters statewide,” said Berg.
