Katie Brennan Raises $85,000 in First Two Months of Assembly Campaign

Jersey City — In her first 60 days as a candidate for Assembly in New Jersey’s 32nd Legislative District, housing policy expert Katie Brennan announced that her campaign raised $85,000 and enters the new year with more than $75,000 cash on hand.

With 190 unique individual donors and hundreds more offering to volunteer, host events, and get out the vote, the campaign is gaining grassroots momentum across Hoboken and Jersey City. The campaign marks a historic first for the district with this being the first state legislative race without the “county line” on the primary ballot.

“This campaign is about putting the people of New Jersey at the center of our politics, and I’m truly inspired by the support we’ve received in just two months,” said Katie Brennan. “There’s a lot of excitement in Jersey City and Hoboken for the type of real change that an open primary brings, and for the opportunity to choose leaders who will fight for them, not the politically connected few. The grassroots energy we’re seeing shows that people are ready for a government that works for all of us, and I’m proud to stand with them in this fight.”

Katie Brennan announced her campaign during the last week of October. Her platform focuses on tackling New Jersey’s housing crisis, improving mass transit, and making government more accountable to the people.
