Subject: Meet the Candidates: On Tuesday, March 1st at 7:00PM at the Hammonton Library (So. Egg Harbor Road), I have arranged for any Democratic candidates running for county-wide office to visit our club and introduce themselves. I will also be inviting the Hammonton and Egg Harbor City Dems to join us and to ensure a good crowd. This will give us all an opportunity to meet the candidates prior to the March 6th convention.

This year's candidates include: For State Assembly (Elect 2): Jim Whelan, Damon Tyner; Sheriff: Jim McGettigan; Surrogate (Elect 1): Jim Carney, Jeff Waldman; Freeholder-At-Large (2): Ed McGee, ? Freeholder District 2 (EHT, Linwood, Northfield, parts of Hamilton Twp.): Alisa Cooper; I hope the times and days are good for you all to attend. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me at BethASchroeder@yahoo.com or 609.412.2747. Best regards, Beth Schroeder

RESPONSE: While this is an event for all Democrats who have an interest in meeting and questioning the November candidates. Democrats welcome all comers; unlike Republicans who find it necessary to have anyone who attends sign a loyalty oath so they don't ask a tough question. Please all come out and meet the Democratic candidates and ask tough questions. There will be some Primary battles too so one can meet and question the candidates who will be running in the Democratic Praimary in June.
