Jersey City Democratic Committee Revamps Structure

150 New Committee Members Filed; Trump Dynamic Triggers more Activism in Democratic Base

JERSEY CITY — Mayor Steven M. Fulop announced the filing of 150 new Jersey City Democratic Committee members, representing a robust effort in rebuilding one of the largest municipal democratic organizations in the state.

“During the past few months, we have seen a renewed enthusiasm for getting involved in the political process on a local level” said Mayor Fulop. “It is encouraging to see so many people recognize the importance of civic involvement. I don’t think we would have seen this type of engagement had it not been for the presidential election in November.”

Rebuilding local democratic parties has become increasingly more important in the wake of the Trump Administration. In Jersey City, widespread concern surrounding destructive federal policies has resulted in a renewed interest in local democratic activism. The Jersey City Democratic Committee has seen an incredible increase in residents who are interested in getting involved in the political process, with 150 new committee members as of yesterday’s filing.
