If you don’t like a government paid for by corporations, you need to help pay for a government you do like.

Yesterday, I unveiled the Booman Tribune ActBlue list. One of the candidates I selected is Linda Stender, candidate for the 7th Congressional District of New Jersey. The 7th district on one of those strangely drawn districts (see below) that are the result of gerrymandering. Most of the district is made up of affluent Christie Todd Whitman Republicans. But it also contains the heavily black South Plainfield and some poorer rural communities in the West. I grew up about thirty miles south of the 7th District.

Stender’s opponent is Mike Ferguson. He’s not a pro-choice Republican, like Whitman. He’s a wingnut. Here’s Stender’s ad on the subject.
