Progressive Democrat Issue 118: NEW JERSEY FOCUS: School Boards and Happy Hours

Democrats 2000 in New Jersey has done well in electing some good people to School Board (a way too often neglected elected position!) and is establishing some new local happy hours for Democrats to get together.

SCHOOL BOARDS:

Recommended List Candidates Win School Board Elections

Democrats 2000 would like to congratulate all of our members that ran for School Board in this past Tuesday's elections.

While not all of them won their elections, each worked hard and reaffirmed Democrats 2000's belief that young professionals have very important roles to play as candidates at every level.

Following is a list of Democrats 2000 'Recommended' candidates that were elected to their local school boards.

Christian Estevez - Plainfield
Ralph Humprhey - Hillside
Jason Jones - Neptune
Richard Ligouri - North Brunswick

Andre Sayeigh - Paterson
Vincent Strumolo - Belleville
Louis Venezia - Bloomfield
Sam Yodice - West Paterson
