Trenton, NJ – The Women’s Political Caucus of New Jersey (WPCNJ) proudly endorses 45 Senate and Assembly women candidates for the November General Election.  The endorsed candidates embrace and are dedicated to upholding WPCNJ’s mission to increase the number of women in elected and appointed office, protect reproductive freedom and achieve equal rights for all women.

Now, more than ever, it is critical that we encourage New Jersey residents to vote and to protect the fundamental rights and freedoms women and their families care deeply about - especially a woman’s right to reproductive freedom.  It is vital that we support and advance elected and appointed officials that are equally committed to upholding these rights. 

“We must continue to fight against attacks on women by promoting leaders who understand and represent women through elected and appointed positions of power. We must remain vigilant. Elections have consequences, we can never assume women’s rights are safe” said Shari Weiner, Chair of the Political Resource Committee. 

The Women's Political Caucus of New Jersey Political Action Committee has made significant contributions to candidates in the 2021 election cycle.  The WPCNJ PAC supports pro-choice candidates that align with the mission of the Women’s Political Caucus.
