Pro-life, pro-family social conservatives won in New Jersey this week because of your support. Family Policy Alliance of New Jersey® identified two key districts to engage thousands of Christian voters in this year’s state races. We won in both districts!

If you believe in the dignity of human life, the rights of parents to raise their children according to their beliefs, and the beauty of the traditional family, then this week’s election was a great moment of advocacy and victory!

District 1 – encompassing Cape May County and parts of Atlantic and Cumberland Counties – had a special State Senate race to fill the seat that Jeff Van Drew left behind when he was elected to the House of Representatives last year. Incumbent Senator Bob Andrzejcak and Assemblymen Bruce Land and Matthew Milam were pro-choice, fiscally moderate Democrats who were unwilling to stand up against their party leadership on vital social issues. They were challenged by a pro-life team that strongly opposes recreational marijuana and supports parental rights in education: Mike Testa for Senate and Erick Simonsen and Antwan McClellan for State Assembly. Family Policy Alliance of New Jersey was able to educate and mobilize thousands of family voters in this district last week because of your financial support. Testa, Simonsen and McClellan won by about 3,000 votes!

District 39 – encompassing parts of Bergan and Passaic County – had a hotly contested race where our good friend and pro-life champion, Assemblyman Bob Auth, was attacked weekly in the media by his challengers for his unashamed socially conservative views. In response, we contacted thousands of family-focused values voters in this district last week, giving Assemblyman Bob Auth a re-election win by just 1,900 votes!

The results of voting have started the trajectory towards a state where God is honored, religious freedom flourishes, families thrive and life is cherished.

“If we don’t have a proper fundamental moral background, we will finally end up with a totalitarian government, which does not believe in rights for anyone except the state.”
President Harry Truman
Attorney General’s Conference, 1950

This Tuesday, Nov 5, the contentious LGBT curriculum, the legalization of recreational marijuana, the assault against parental rights, the safety and dignity of preborn life, and the violation of religious liberty will be at stake. This off-year election will either prevent or hasten the moral collapse of our state. The New Jersey Assembly, serving two-year terms, is up for grabs once again.

In the current legislative session, our state Assembly:

The candidates who win on Nov 5 will commence a new two-year legislative session in January 2020. These elected officials will make decisions that have extraordinary consequences on families and people of faith. The results of voting will start the trajectory towards a state where God is honored, religious freedom flourishes, families thrive and life is cherished; or the dreaded opposite – the unhindered promulgation of anti-family values in education, the reckless and destructive impact of neighborhoods saturated with pot-shops, and the calloused insistence to violate human rights by allowing late term abortions in NJ that are banned in 96% of nations.

If you believe in the dignity of human life, the rights of parents to raise their children according to their beliefs, and the beauty of the traditional family, then November 5th is your greatest moment of advocacy. Historically, voter turnout is low in years when neither the President nor Governor is on the ballot. Therefore, your vote carries significant weight!

Do not approach elections with despair or hopelessness despite your district. Even if your preferred candidate does not win, a closer than expected outcome sends a clear message to incumbent leftist politicians.  I urge you not to allow radical ideologies to set the agenda in Trenton in 2020. Turn out and vote on November 5 for pro-life, pro-family candidates.

There are two good reasons why Kentucky has the biggest governor’s race in the nation next week: Contrast and Competitiveness.

Contrast: Bevin and Beshear Are Opposites on Key Issues

Competitiveness: In This Tight Race, Every Vote Will Be Crucial

Polls show this race to be dead even. Like other races we’ve reported on in the past, it’s very possible that this race could be decided by just a single vote per precinct.

What can you do?

Thanks for making your voice heard and voting your values!
