New Jersey – Neptune Township Committeeman Derel M. Stroud, Committeewoman Tassie York, and Committeeman Jason A. Jones proudly endorse Ras Baraka for Governor of New Jersey, citing his ability to energize voters, build a broad-based coalition, and deliver real results for working families.

“As we look toward the future of New Jersey, we need a leader who not only understands the challenges working people face but has a proven track record of making meaningful change,” said Committeeman Derel M. Stroud.

Baraka has demonstrated in Newark that he is not only committed to lifting up the working class, he can actually do it. His leadership has driven economic development, strengthened public safety, and expanded opportunities for families across the city. Stroud, York and Jones believe his vision and experience make him the most electable Democrat statewide, positioning the party to maximize its nearly one-million voter registration advantage in New Jersey.

“We need a candidate who can bring together people from all walks of life, energize our base, and win statewide in November,” said Committeewoman Tassie York.

With the Monmouth County Democratic Convention approaching, Stroud, York, and Jones urge fellow Democrats to unite behind Baraka, recognizing his unmatched ability to motivate and inspire voters while leading with progressive values and a commitment to equity.

“New Jersey deserves a Governor who can turn our Democratic advantage into a movement that delivers for every community, from our urban centers to our shore towns,” said Committeeman Jason A. Jones.
