Make the Road Action Endorses Sue Altman for Congress in NJ-7

Union County-Based Advocacy Group Joins Wave of Endorsers

Lambertville, New Jersey — Today, Make the Road Action announced their support for Sue Altman’s campaign for Congress in New Jersey’s 7th district, the most competitive Congressional race in New Jersey and one of the most competitive across the country. Make the Road Action – NJ, based in Union County, engages tens of thousands of voters of color each year in door to door outreach, organizing and civic engagement.

“As an immigrant and parent in CD-7, I know firsthand the need for honest representation in Washington. Sue will stand up for Latino communities in the district, and for working families. Too much is at stake in the 2024 elections: our democracy, our rights as women and immigrants, and our jobs. We need her voice fighting for us in Washington,” said Nancy Vega, Make the Road Action member from Rahway, NJ.

“Sue is the fighter for working people that we need in Washington. Her decades of experience as an educator, organizer and competitor and her grit, talent and determination make her candidate most qualified to defeat MAGA loyalist Tom Kean Jr, and bring powerful leadership to Washington. Make the Road Action members are ready and committed to flipping the 7th Congressional district back with Sue,” said Sara Cullinane, New Jersey director of Make the Road Action.

“Make the Road Action has been at the forefront of the fight to rebuild our broken immigration system and preserve our democracy. I’m proud to have them on this campaign with us. Latino communities in NJ-7 and across the country have been left behind by mainstream politicians and our party — together, we’re going to change that by organizing everywhere in NJ-7 and flipping this seat. Everyone in NJ-7, including our Latino friends and neighbors, deserves honest, tough, and competent leadership in Washington,” said Sue Altman, candidate for Congress in NJ-7.

About Sue Altman

Sue Altman is a proud daughter of New Jersey’s 7th Congressional District. She grew up in Clinton, attended Clinton Public School and Voorhees High School, and still 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, then went on to become a teacher and successful basketball coach–leading two teams to state championships.

For the last several years, Sue has served as Executive Director of the New Jersey Working Families Alliance, a non-profit organization focused on fighting political corruption in Trenton, fighting against the waste of taxpayer dollars, and making New Jersey a better place to live for everyone.

Sue has seen firsthand that rising costs and unfair taxes–including the Trump-era SALT deduction cap–are making it harder for the people of the 7th District to raise families, own homes, and retire in their own communities. Driven by a deep commitment to keep fighting for those communities where she was raised, Sue is now taking her years of experience advocating for a fairer system that works for all New Jerseyans and is running for Congress in her home district.
