With Saturday meeting, PDCC heads into the election home stretch


Plainfield Dems meet Saturday as campaign
heads into the home stretch.

 

Heading into the home stretch for the November general election, Chairman Adrian O. Mapp has called a meeting of the Plainfield Democratic City Committee (PDCC) for Saturday morning (October 14), at 10:00 AM at Democratic headquarters, 31 Watchung Avenue.

The meeting will report on the progress of reaching out to Plainfield voters through door-to-door canvassing, phone calls and placing signs on properties where requested. Sign-up sheets will be available to volunteer.

In addition to committee members, volunteers and guests are welcome to attend.

The November General Election will take place on Tuesday, November 7.

The Democratic candidate for governor is Phil Murphy, with former Assembly Speaker Sheila Oliver -- well-known to many Plainfielders -- as his running mate for Lieutenant Governor.

In addition, the entire Legislature is up for election. In our District, LD22, we will be voting for Sen. Nick Scutari, and Assemblymen Jerry Green and Jim Kennedy.

On the local level, Adrian O. Mapp is the Democratic nominee for re-election as Mayor. Joylette Mills-Ransome is the Democratic nominee to fill the unexpired term of former Ward 2/3 Councilor Rebecca Williams, and Steve Hockaday is the Democratic nominee for the 4th Ward seat.

All the Democrats from Governor on down to the local level are running on Column A.

Voters should also note that the non-partisan Board of Ed election will take place at the same time, and also that there will be a public question on a bond issue for the capital construction needs of New Jersey public libraries. It has been over a decade since the last bond issue, and the Plainfield Public Library would be able to undertake necessary repairs and capital improvements if it passes.

Signs will be available for those who need them.

Plainfield's Democratic headquarters is at 31 Watchung Avenue (next to Antojito's restaurant). Parking is available in the public lot and (some) behind headquarters. The phone number is (908) 561-5038. Headquarters is open daily from Noon to 8:00 PM (Sundays from 3:00 PM).
