Full disclosure - I'm on board with Murphy - but this is well done. I knocked on doors for Sadaf - she was my assemblywoman. Sadaf experienced horrible racism and threats during her two-year term. That's why she didn't run again. It's par for the course outside of Newark for women of color elected offices to experience that. Hell - I've had 4 -and I was only sworn into office on January 3rd. Campos Medina - Want to bet that racism/threats come up in her Primary campaign?

Polls don't register her - because they aren't connecting with enough young millenials, y's and z's.

Hi *******,

I’m Sadaf Jaffer, former Assemblywoman for New Jersey’s 16th legislative district.

Last week, I proudly endorsed Patricia Campos-Medina for Senate and here’s why –

I’ve been involved in New Jersey politics for a while, and one thing is very clear: New Jersey families are looking for new faces and new voices to champion the causes they care about most — raising wages and standing up for workers, cutting child care costs, keeping our families safe, and everything in between.

Patricia IS that new voice.

At a time when global issues demand our attention, Patricia Campos-Medina stands out for her principled stance on the war in Gaza. She advocates for a diplomatic and humanitarian approach, emphasizing the need for a ceasefire and a commitment to peaceful resolutions.

Furthermore, Patricia is committed to advancing the representation of women of color in New Jersey politics.

As the first woman and the first Latina to potentially represent New Jersey in the Senate in 2024, she is breaking barriers and paving the way for a more inclusive and diverse political landscape.

We are at a pivotal moment here in New Jersey and across the country, presenting an opportunity to choose new leadership and new voices that prioritize democratic values over special interests and establishment agendas.

That’s why I am endorsing Patricia Campos-Medina — she embodies the change we need.

She has my unwavering support, and I think she’s the exact leader New Jersey needs.
Will you join me in supporting Patricia’s campaign today, so we can forge a path toward a more equitable and prosperous New Jersey for all?

Thank you,
