"Women's Political Caucus of NJ Announces
Endorsements and Recommendations"
Record Number of Women Earn Endorsements and PAC Support
(Trenton) -- The Women's Political Caucus of New Jersey announced today it is
endorsing 27 women in their bids to win seats in the state Assembly. To help
insure that these impressive women achieve their goals, the bi-partisan
caucus is contributing a total of $13,350 to their campaigns. The
announcement was made at a State House press conference with candidates
from both sides of the aisle present.
"New Jersey is now among the nation's top 10 states for the highest
percentage of women in the Legislature. Today, 27 women hold office in the
Assembly and there is a real potential to win more seats in November due to
the fact that so many women are competing this year," said Hollie Gilroy,
president of the bi-partisan organization. "In addition, we're supporting a record
number of women in the Assembly, a testimony to our mission of creating
political equality for women," Gilroy added.
The Caucus is endorsing 27 women - an increase over 2007, when the
Caucus endorsed 24 women.
Nineteen of them are incumbents, while eight are challengers. They are an
impressive cadre of talented women, who are ready to bring their unique
perspectives to the State House and work diligently for voters across New
Jersey," said Connie McGhee, chairwoman of the WPC-NJ political action
committee.
The Caucus also made a recommendation in the gubernatorial race -
recognizing the presence of two progressive, pro-choice women running for the
first Lieutenant Governor's position.
In making its recommendation, the Women's Political Caucus Board said:
"For nearly 40 years the Caucus has worked to empower highly accomplished,
progressive, pro-choice women. This year the organization was gratified when
the state's two leading parties selected two such women as candidates for
Lieutenant Governor. The nominees, Sheriff Kim Guadagno and state Sen.
Loretta Weinberg, exemplify the best of what New Jersey offers its voters in this
historic election."
The Caucus recommended the slate headed by Gov. Jon Corzine and Sen.
Weinberg because as pro-choice candidates they both support the core
principals of the Caucus.
As a women's political organization, the Caucus refrains from endorsing men.
But candidates who share the organization's pro-choice mission receive its
recommendation. Twenty-five men earned that distinction this year.
A complete list of the endorsed and recommended candidates is attached.
