Plainfield Progressive Democrats will hold a virtual Town Hall on March 31 using ZOOM. |
As Plainfield enters the 2020 Primary political season, the coronavirus pandemic is bringing with it changes in the way politics are being done.
Under New Jersey's stay-at-home and social distance rules, campaign events, in-person fundraisers, and door-to-door canvassing are out.
As of the moment, candidates are in the signature gathering phase for their petitions. Candidates must meet signature requirements to be on the ballot in June.
At least one candidate is gathering signatures online. Robert Graham, the PDCC's First Ward leader, has announced his run for the citywide at-large seat. He is gathering signatures via online service DocuSign -- a first as far as I know.
Graham will be running against Steve Hockaday, currently Ward 4 councilor, who has the party line for citywide at-large. Hockaday is running with Ward 3 incumbent Charles McRae, who seeks reelection.
In addition, the Plainfield Progressive Democratic candidates are holding a virtual Town Hall on March 31, at 7:00 PM.
The Plainfield Progressive Democratic candidates are David Rutherford for citywide at-large and Emily Morgan for Ward 3.
The Town Hall is being held on the Zoom platform, and will have a 100-person limit.

Gov. Murphy is considering whether to make the June Primary a vote-by-mail only election. More on that later.
