Forman: “By launching an unprecedented outreach campaign NJDC is reaffirming that the importance of engaging the Jewish community cannot be overemphasized.”

WASHINGTON, DC – The National Jewish Democratic Council (NJDC) has stepped-up its unmatched Jewish outreach effort for the upcoming New Jersey election with newspaper advertising, direct mail, literature drops, and canvassing.

“Jewish voters in New Jersey need to know the important facts in this critical election when they go to the voting booth on November 3,” said Ira N. Forman, CEO of NJDC. “By launching an unprecedented outreach campaign NJDC is reaffirming that the importance of engaging the Jewish community cannot be overemphasized.”

NJDC’s New Jersey outreach campaign addresses important issues to the Jewish community such as reproductive freedom, stem cell research, health care, gun control, and strengthening the economic partnership between Israel and New Jersey.

Additionally, NJDC has organized trainings, surrogate speaking, and phone banking efforts to help educate Jewish voters in New Jersey.

NJDC’s newspaper advertising will appear in Jewish newspapers throughout New Jersey.

“As polling for this election gets closer and closer, Jewish voters are more important than ever,” said Forman. “NJDC estimates that Jewish voter turnout will be approximately 240,000 voters, which could make the difference in this election.”

An excerpt from our New Jersey walk piece:

Governor Jon Corzine and Senator Loretta Weinberg believe our best days lie ahead, and they have a plan to lead New Jersey to prosperity. Over the next four years, the governor will build upon the successes his administration has already achieved in reining in irresponsible spending and accounting practices on one hand and focusing smart investments to improve quality of life on the other.
