“Our goal is to help elect individuals who will reflect the core values of the Democratic party, particularly fair representation of all people,” said Graner. “The recent refusal of our Township Committee, with the notable exception of Committeewoman Joan Bannan, to condemn the terrorist acts of January 6 at the Capitol is unacceptable. We need dissenting voices to hold our elected officials accountable.”
The Bernards Township Democratic Committee, reestablished in 2017, remains committed to identifying and supporting candidates with vision who will lead with integrity, compassion, and intelligence.
