On
this Earth Day 2021,
Madelyn Hoffman, the
Green Party of New
Jersey’s candidate
for NJ Governor in
2021, today
announced Heather
Warburton of
Hammonton, New
Jersey as her
Lieutenant
Governor.
“I am
very excited to
announce that
Heather Warburton of
Hammonton has agreed
to be my Lieutenant
Governor,” said
Madelyn Hoffman.
“The Green Party of
New Jersey has
expressed its
enthusiastic support
for both of our
candidacies. Running
with Heather
Warburton provides
many opportunities
for expanding and
strengthening my
campaign. Heather
Warburton has much
visibility in the
Southern part of the
state, while I am
based in Morris
County. Heather also
brings much
knowledge and
concern about
coastal and inland
impacts of the
climate crisis. On
this Earth Day 2021,
we both recognize
the urgency of
addressing many of
the environmental
and economic crises
faced by New Jersey
and stand firmly
behind the need for
a real,
eco-socialist Green
New Deal, one that
will restructure our
economy and our
communities,
guaranteeing a
living wage to all,
equality for all and
help put the brakes
on climate change.”
“I am
running this year
because I genuinely
believe in what
Madelyn is talking
about,” said
Lieutenant Governor
candidate Heather
Warburton. “She has
been a peace
advocate for
decades, and I am
proud to be on the
ticket with her. I
am excited to join
my activism with
hers while we talk
about issues ranging
from North to South
Jersey and
everywhere in
between. When we run
outside the duopoly,
we get a chance to
talk about issues
that might never be
brought up without
us. Issues like
flooding, climate
devastation,
education, and
police violence and
overreach
drastically impact
the lives of
working-class people
in New Jersey. I am
honored to be
joining Madelyn to
advocate for the
people of NJ and not
the wealthy 1%.”
Craig
Cayetano, GPNJ State
Co-Chair said, “I am
proud that the Green
Party of New Jersey
has endorsed Heather
Warburton for
Lieutenant Governor.
Heather working with
Madelyn Hoffman can
offer the solutions
we need in Trenton!
We deserve fully
funded schools,
common sense
approach to COVID-19
relief and dramatic
climate action now
with strategies that
truly help
communities of
color. I implore all
the youth working on
climate justice to
volunteer and
support the
Hoffman/Warburton
campaign. First, we
need to ensure they
will be on the
ballot. Please
follow the link
posted to complete
their online
petition today.”
