We are proud to announce that Senator Robert Gordon (D-38), Assemblywoman Connie Wagner (D-38) and Mr. Tom Eustace (D-38) were victorious in yesterday's election. Julie O'Connor, our Legislative District Director, worked very hard in this district. Thanks, Julie! This race was an important win for the animals, as it was very close and hotly contested.
Out of 26 LOHV-NJ endorsed candidates, 23 won and 3 were defeated. See results below. Also visit http://lohvnj.org/endorse2011c.html for more information.
This election season was our first under the LOHV-NJ banner and it was intense. Many thanks to Laurie Perla for all her work compiling questionnaires and tabulating the scorecards. This was a huge task. In 2013, we are going to call on additional volunteers to help. Thanks to Merrilee Cichy, Legislative District Director, for helping candidates in Districts 31 & 40.
Many thanks to our LOHV-NJ steering committee and to our members who gave advice and suggestions. It was all appreciated.
For the Animals,
