I spent the afternoon in Tewksbury with committed Democrats who refuse to let our democracy slip away. We need a leader who will fiercely protect the Constitution and build an economy that leaves no one behind. On June 10, let’s vote Ras Baraka for real change. #RasForGovernor

It was an honor to join the Islamic Center of Union County last week and listen to their concerns. In every community, there is a deep commitment to justice, dignity, and belonging. This is the driving force behind my campaign. To make sure everyone can experience this across New Jersey.

On Memorial Day, we honor those who died in service of America. We must remember that these heroes gave their lives protecting our Constitution and our freedoms. Defending those rights today is the responsibility we carry in their memory.
