Today, Tuesday, June 2, 2009, is Primary Day in New Jersey. The polls are open from 6:00 am until 8:00 pm. If you don’t know the location of your local polling place, you may find it at http://voter.njsvrs.com/PublicAccess/jsp/PollPlace/PollPlaceSearch.jsp.
This flyer is specifically to our members like you who live in the 22nd legislative district. If you are a Democrat, Garden State Equality urges you to vote for Governor Jon Corzine and for Assemblyman Jerry Green and Assemblywoman Linda Stender. Jerry and Linda are among New Jersey’s all-time greatest champions for LGBT civil rights. Several years ago, they were among the very first legislators to support marriage quality, and have not let up in their advocacy since.
Within the 22nd legislative district, the City of Plainfield has a contested mayoral primary. Garden State Equality does not customarily endorse candidates in municipal elections, which involve municipal issues that are the expertise of local activists more than of our statewide organization.
However, Garden State Equality is qualified to judge the records of local candidates on LGBT issues. In this regard, we note the exceptional support Mayor Sharon Robinson-Briggs has given the LGBT community. She was among the handful of first mayors in the entire state to perform domestic partnership ceremonies, civil union ceremonies and to endorse marriage equality.
This email is from and paid for by the Garden State Equality continuing political committee, 500 Bloomfield Avenue, Montclair, New Jersey 07042. Robert S. Powell, Vice Chair and Treasurer.
