Campos-Medina Blisters Camden Dems
The following is a statement from U.S. Senate candidate Patricia Campos-Medina following a weekened confrontation with members of the Camden County Democratic Committee:
“It’s tough enough to be a woman in New Jersey politics with its history of harassment and intimidation, but to be confronted by five men who did not have any identification or credentials to stop me at the Camden County Democrats Committee this weekend is unacceptable behavior. I was invited to enter the building to greet supporters by a county committee member. One of the men at the door told me the chairman didn’t invite me and to get out. It seems that male political bosses are taking lessons from Trump. That’s why we need more women in politics to change the Democratic Party.”

This action by Camden Democratic Committee should force every Democrat in the county to become unaffiliated.
Patricia Campos-Medina is an excellent candidate for US Senator, and a long time social and political activist. She merits only respect and deserves inclusion in all the ways a political candidate should be included in party and general voting matters.
This article really makes you think about the political dynamics in Camden. As someone who’s seen how local politics can play out, it’s interesting to see someone like Campos-Medina calling out the Dems so publicly. It raises questions about how transparent and accountable our local leaders really are. What do other residents think? Do you feel like our elected officials are truly representing our interests, or is there room for improvement? It’s important that we stay engaged and hold our leaders accountable to make sure our community’s voice is heard.
