(bump w/update - promoted by jmelli)

Last night I was elected president of the Princeton Community Democratic Organization. It was a contested election, with the other candidate being the "establishment" candidate. But we campaigned hard and won, 156 - 59, on a platform of activism, expansion, inclusiveness and openness. Juan Melli also got elected to the executive board.

A new generation offers a leader
There was a changing of the guard among liberals in Princeton last night in a race for President of the Princeton Community Democratic Organization, a group of Democrats from Princeton Borough and Princeton Township. Jenny Crumiller, a fundraiser for Howard Dean's 2004 presidential campaign and a Democracy for America member, defeated Dick Bergman, who got his start in politics working for Eugene McCarthy and George McGovern, by 156-59 margin. Bergman, who worked as a budget analyst for the New Jersey Legislature and spent thre years working in the Carter White House, had been the handpicked candidate of Princeton Township Mayor Phyllis Marchand. With more than 350 members, the PCDO is the largest local Democratic club in Mercer County.

Congrats.

Based on what I have been seeing in recent years, at least through reading online news stories, I think you could do well with the inclusiveness part of your platform in your area.

All the best.

I think that's 2 DFA can knock of their list of 100 elected offices they'd like to see go to progressives in '06.

Woo Hoo! (0.00 / 0)

I've said it before and I'll say it again: Jenny is the kind of person who can make things happen that other people don't think of and don't think can be done. May more and more of the activist Democrats with both brains and bravery find their place in the Democratic power structure!
Go, Jenny, GO!!!

It's not a particularly snappy signature, but here's what I think we need in the next NJ Democratic State Chair.
