Watson Coleman Has Been Fighter for State, Especially its Most Vulnerable
To the Editor:
I am writing to encourage your readers to support and vote for our incumbent Congresswoman Bonnie Watson Coleman in the June 4 Democratic primary, where she is being challenged by a conservative ex-Republican.
As a congresswoman, Bonnie has been an indefatigable fighter for the people of our state, and especially for its most vulnerable groups. She is a fair and thoughtful legislator, aiming to ensure that millions of Americans, and New Jerseyans in particular, do not live below the poverty line nor experience permanent financial fallout from a single unexpected crisis. She has worked tirelessly to rectify the environmental inequalities found in poor neighborhoods where environmental violations often go unpunished. She is also a member of the Congressional Caucus for Women’s Issues, and founder and co-chair of the Congressional Caucus on Black Women and Girls, fighting for women’s rights and equality. Before her tenure in Washington, she was the majority leader in the New Jersey Assembly, where she championed pioneering legislation for prisoner rehabilitation and re-entry programs, earning praise from the New York Times as “a model for the rest of the nation.”
We could not wish for a better representative for our congressional district.
Let’s vote for Bonnie on June 4 and allow her to continue the important work she is doing in the House. We need more people like Bonnie in the U.S. Congress!
