The South Jersey Democratic Women’s Forum (SJDWF) will host a dynamic and unscripted candidate engagement event, “Speed Rating the Candidates,” on February 23 at 6:30 p.m. at the American Legion Post 295, 232 Mill Road, Northfield, NJ.
The event will feature five of the Democratic candidates for New Jersey’s Second Congressional District (listed in alphabetical order by last name):
· Tim Alexander: https://www.timalexander4congress.com
· William Finn: https://www.finn4congress.com/
· Zachary Mullock: https://mullockforcongress.com/
· Terri Reese: https://terrireesefornjcd2.com/
· Bayly Winder: https://winderforcongress.com/
Designed to give voters direct and meaningful access to the candidates, the event will follow a structured “speed rating” format. Each candidate will rotate from table to table, spending a designated amount of time answering questions from small groups of constituents before moving to the next group. There will be no scripted program and no pre-submitted questions, allowing for authentic dialogue and real-time engagement between candidates and voters.
“This event is about transparency, accessibility, and empowering voters,” said Maureen Leidy, President of the South Jersey Democratic Women’s Forum. “We want constituents to have the opportunity to ask the questions that matter most to them — directly, face-to-face, and without filters. Democracy works best when voters can engage openly with the people seeking to represent them.”
Space for the event is limited. Attendees are asked to RSVP by February 20 to sjdwf.atlanticcape@gmail.com to reserve a spot. Please arrive no later than 6:00 pm ET to check in.
