Lambertville, NJ — Sue Altman, New Jersey’s 7th Congressional District presumptive Democratic nominee, announced her campaign raised more than $580,000 in contributions last quarter and ended March with more than $910,000 cash-on-hand.

These latest numbers bring her total fundraising haul this cycle to more than $1.35 million.

“These fundraising numbers demonstrate the growing strength of our grassroots campaign in what will be the most critical race in New Jersey this year, and we’re just getting started,” said Sue. “All eyes are on NJ-07 as we look to take back the House Majority and defeat Tom Kean, Jr. – an empty suit and rubber-stamp for extremism. As we continue to build this grassroots movement, I’m confident we’ll have the resources necessary to engage and mobilize voters across the district. We are fired up and ready to take this fight directly to Junior, who didn’t earn his seat and has never worked hard for his constituents.”

These fundraising totals come shortly after the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee added Sue to its coveted Red to Blue program – showcasing how critical this race is to Democrats’ efforts to regain the House majority in November – and as Democrats across New Jersey, including Congressman Andy Kim, Senator Cory Booker, and NJ’s congressional delegation, are coalescing their support behind her.

Sue Altman is a proud daughter of New Jersey’s 7th Congressional District. She grew up on Center Street in Clinton, attended Clinton Public School and Voorhees High School, and calls Hunterdon County her home today, living in Lambertville.

After leading her Voorhees High School basketball team to local championships, Sue played college basketball at Columbia University and professional basketball abroad, earned two graduate degrees from Oxford University in the UK – one in International Policy and the other in Business, then went on to become a teacher and successful basketball coach, leading two teams to state championships.

During her time as a teacher, Sue became deeply involved in the fight for New Jersey’s schools and students. She stood up to then-Governor Chris Christie in order to protect teachers and fight against cuts to public schools.

For the last several years, Sue has served as Executive Director of the New Jersey Working Families Alliance, a non-profit organization focused primarily on combating political corruption in Trenton. Sue fought fearlessly against corrupt actors in both parties and the waste of taxpayer dollars.

Over her career, Sue has fought tirelessly for the people of New Jersey. She won’t stop when she gets to Washington.
