Since publishing the last BTDC Beat, the BTDC has been busy! What a whirlwind of awesome activity the past several weeks ushered in.

Memorial Day Weekend kicked off the excitement with a great presence at the Liberty Corner Memorial Day parade, where the BTDC marched with a great group (and largest to date) of Democratic supporters and residents. They were led by Township Committee candidates Brett Hodges and John Tompkins, who laid wreaths in the Liberty Corner memorial triangle at the parade’s conclusion. 

Leading into the June primary elections, we hosted gubernatorial candidate, and sitting congresswoman, Mikie Sherrill for an intimate and informative visit on Saturday, May 31. Mikie shared her insights on the current state of politics and what winning the governor’s seat in New Jersey means for our community, the national picture and democracy in general.

And she wasn’t the only politico to spend time with the BTDC! On June 7, DNC Chair Ken Martin and a whole host of local and state candidates participated in a community canvass that launched from BTDC Campaign Chair, Sara Nichols’ home in downtown Liberty Corner. Other dignitaries attending the event included LD21 candidates Andrew McCurdy and Vincent Kearney, SCDC Chair Peg Schaffer, Commissioner Melonie Marano and many others. CD7 candidate Rebecca Bennett also attended the event.

The fun didn’t end there. In between all the action, members of the BTDC enjoyed a bowling night together, and celebrated Holi at a great – and colorful! – gathering with our local Indian community. 

The No Kings Protests on June 13 also presented a great opportunity for local Dems to gather and get fired up.

Finally, the Hodges Tompkins campaign had their first meet and greet at Washington House on June 25.
