DMW at NJ Democratic Party Convention

Last weekend Matt and Adam were at the Democratic State Conference in Atlantic City. We talked to a number of people about the Warner movement and made a number of good contacts. the team handed out flyers and talked about Warner's accomplishments in Virginia. By the end of the conference, a number of important democrats and the ones who will be driving the next primary season learned about Mark Warner. It was also an important event because key democrats in the state are seeing the Warner campaign at keys events over and over again, so they know we are here to stay.

Along with a presence at the event, we also added a number of names to our mailing and contact list. In New Jersey, we now have contacts in 15 out of the states 21 counties. We have also been talking to a number of democrats who get involved in campaigning, and appear to have county chairs ready to step into a campaign in 7 counties in New Jersey. our goal is to have chairs in 15 counties by the end of the year.

In addition to the Democratic Conference, we also ran another street fair. This time in Red Bank New Jersey in Monmouth County. Monmouth County tends to lean republican, but it has a large population and we wanted to have a presence there. A number of people took information about Warner, and we grew our mailing list in Monmouth County

Finally, remember that Bernie and Josh have been organizing an event in Hoboken on September 24th. This is another major street fair with a large turn out expected. If anyone is interested in helping, please let us know. W can always use more volunteers at these events to help us work the crowds.
