NJ-07: O'Rourke (D) gets bevy of local endorsements from across the district.
As county Democratic organizations in the 7th congressional district prepare to make their endorsements, Megan O’Rourke announced a new set of supporters today consisting of current and former local elected officials from all corners of the district.
Among O’Rourke’s backers are former Washington Borough Mayor Ethel Conry, who was perhaps the single most prominent Warren County Democrat in elected office until she lost re-election in 2024, and Mendham Borough Councilman Chris Neff, who last year became the first Democrat elected to his town’s governing body in five decades.
“In my race, I saw the benefit of reaching new voters and those who typically don’t vote for Democratic candidates,” Neff said in a statement. “Megan is the candidate who can grow our voter base, fight for our values, and give a voice to everyone in the 7th congressional district in Washington.”
Also on O’Rourke’s new list of endorsers: two school board members in Blairstown, where she lives; former local elected officials in Frenchtown, Washington Borough, Montgomery, and Hunterdon’s Franklin Township; and Phil DeStefano, last year’s Democratic nominee for Sussex county commissioner.
