News from the Lawrence LWV

LAWRENCE TOWNSHIP, NJ - On JUNE 8th, Represent.Us Central New Jersey and the League of Women Voters of Lawrence Township announced a combined campaign to bring an anti-corruption resolution to a vote by the Lawrence Town Council on Tuesday, June 21st, 2016. Both groups will unite to rally local residents to urge the Mayor and Council Members to approve this resolution at its regular meeting.
"In Central New Jersey, we're putting aside partisan differences and working together to protect our communities from corruption and build momentum for national reform."said David Goodman, Represent.Us Central New Jersey chapter leader.
Nearly a dozen such resolutions have been passed across the country by local chapters of Represent.Us, the nation's largest bipartisan grassroots anti-corruption campaign. Three New Jersey towns have gone on record calling on representatives in Trenton and Washington, DC, to enact anti-corruption legislation. Princeton was the first in 2014. Ewing Township followed in February 2015. In April 2016, South Brunswick Township became the third New Jersey town. Favorable action on June 21st would make Lawrence Township the fourth such community.
In addition to calling on town leaders to act, Represent.Us Central New Jersey presented its case to the Mercer County Board of Freeholders on May 26th, 2016. The group asked the Freeholders to approve a county-wide resolution and consider placing an Anti-Corruption Question on the November ballot.
"Our political system is corrupt, and Congress won't fix it," said Represent.Us national executive director Josh Silver. "We're taking our fight local. Conservatives and progressives are uniting to demand that our states pass Anti-Corruption Acts, and that our leaders start representing us."
