As our Republican opponents continue to attack each other on TV and in the mail, Linda is traveling around the 7th District spreading her positive message of change.

Last Friday, Linda was in Flemington to receive the Sierra Club's endorsement in the primary. And thanks to our dedicated supporters in Hunterdon County, we had a great crowd show up to watch her receive the honor on a cold and rainy day!  

New Jersey Sierra Club Director Jeff Tittel, who attended the event, summed it up best - "We need a powerful advocate like Linda Stender fighting for us in Washington. Stender has a remarkably strong record at both the local and state level of standing up for environmental causes, and she would be a wonderful voice for our interests in Congress. Linda Stender would work to create a cleaner, greener world for New Jersey families."

Earlier this week, Planned Parenthood of Central New Jersey recognized Linda with their Public Policy Leadership Award.  Linda was honored to receive the award, which highlighted her long-standing commitment to women's health issues and protecting the right to choose.

As you can see, this past week was a really exciting one.  And we have some more great events coming up, as well.  In fact, we hope you'll come out to a community event this weekend and say hi to Linda!

? On Saturday - tomorrow - around noon, Linda will be making the rounds at the Woodbridge Saint James Street Fair.  

? On Sunday, she'll be at the Hunterdon County Democrats' Annual Brunch at the Beaver Brook Country Club in Annandale, and then head to the Branchburg Democrats' picnic in White Oak Park that afternoon.

We're all so excited to have volunteers signing up to get involved each and every day.  It's because of your hard work that Linda Stender will win in November and bring the change New Jersey families need.

Thank you for all you do, and we hope to see you soon!  And stay tuned for information about our new campaign headquarters!
