Gloucester High Alumni member campaign director for Donna Ward for Congress
Hi Bill;
We had a little correspondence a while ago in my quest to find a picture of the "Beefburger" in Brooklawn. Or was it the origin of the name "Hinky-dinks" for the proposed rail line that was never built and left its scar on Highland Park?
In any case, in recent weeks, a friend had decided to run for Congress, and asked me to manage her campaign. Knowing her core political beliefs, I accepted without hesitation, and am now the Campaign Director for Donna Ward for Congress (NJ District 1). Donna is running under Murray Sabrin's slogan of "Constitutional Republicans protecting the Liberty Platform".

It was a last minute decision on Donna's part, and our opponent, Congressman Frank LoBiondo, has at least $1.4 million in his campaign account, but we're undeterred. Donna thoroughly enjoys meeting and talking to people, understands the major issues and I know just enough about the process to be able to help.
When Donna called and told me Dr Sabrin wanted to meet in Gloucester City, I was thrilled. I graduated GHS in '66, and though I've lived in a number of other towns and states, Gloucester will always be where I'm from. I don't know whose decision it was that we meet at the War Memorial, but it was, from where I stood, a good decision. I was a little surprised to find the WWI monument moved from its place on the opposite corner.
I was a 6th grade student at Monmouth Street School when it burnt down, and have always remembered the eagle atop the monument on the corner. 1st Congressional District candidate Fernando Powers was to meet with us as well, so Donna and I were a bit early and had time to sit and talk by the monument. For me, personally, the name on the memorial for Vietnam really hit home, having known a number of those listed.
Dr Sabrin had said he was going to stop at the Gloucester City News after we had met, I hope you had a chance to meet with him. Having spent a considerable amount of time with him in recent weeks, I firmly believe he is exactly the kind of man that can understand the concerns of the people of Gloucester City and South Jersey, and express those concerns in Washington to the benefit of all of our futures.

It is very apparent that Donna Ward is the right choice for Congress. Few people know the issues and how to fix them, however Donna knows both.
