The brunch today was a resounding success by any measure. Attendance was almost triple last year's, in no small part thanks to our featured speaker, Newark Mayor Cory Booker. After some meet and greet, photo ops, food, and a few opening remarks, I introduced the Mayor. He spoke for about a half hour - on subjects ranging from New Jersey's part in the American Revolution, to the breweries of Newark, to the necessity of action in the face of adversity. After a standing ovation, the Mayor bid us adieu, and we took a short break.

We resumed by introducing our candidates:

Harvey Baron for State Senate
Tammy Smith for Assembly
Adam Fitting and Tod Theise for Freeholder

We concluded the event by reminding people that there is Governor's and Lieutenant Governor's race this year, as well as county and sate committee seats.

Overall, everyone had a great time and came away energized and motivated. We'll be posting pictures of the event shortly.
