Public/Party service: I won key victories as a progressive activist fighting for justice and advocating smart & honest policies, like breaking up big banks, stopping corporate tax dodgers, Medicare for all and expanding free public education. I believe that persistence is required and I am willing to go the distance. I stood up against Wall Street billionaires trying to buy control over the Democratic Party. I fought corrupt insiders who rob millions from taxpayers through no-bid contracts and other crooked deals. I was the only Democrat in New Jersey to challenge the US Senator indicted by the Obama administration and ‘severely admonished’ by the US Senate Ethics Committee.
