Clarke called Bucco’s positions “odious” and “too extreme.”

“It makes me really nervous that he’s the senate minority leader and he has these hateful views on women,” she said.

25th Legislative District candidates Christine Clarke, Dr. Jonathan Torres, and Diane Salvatore are dropping off more than 800 pounds of donated food to three food pantries around their district, collected during their ‘Petitions and Pantries’ drive to support food-insecure constituents while gathering signatures for their ballot petitions to represent the 25th District.

“I want to thank Christine Clarke for organizing this Pride event for the third year. As Mayor of this great community, I am happy to support its diversity. I thank all who attended and participated in making this year's event a success,” said Jefferson Township Mayor Eric Wilsusen.

"If I had been able to rest assured that I could pay a babysitter to watch my children anytime I wanted to attend an event or make fundraising calls during my 2019 race, running for office would have been easier on my family and on me," Clarke said. "Instead, there were often scheduling conflicts caused by juggling primary care of my children and plans with constituents. I hope to see more moms in all levels of government and we can do a better job welcoming them in."

"As a working-class mother of four young children who lived the need for this important bill during my 2019 campaign for state office, I can attest personally to what this means for New Jersey women. Thank you to the Governor and the New Jersey Legislature for this critical step to level the playing field for moms seeking entry into politics," said Christine Clarke, environmental advocate and recent Assembly candidate in LD26.

To launch the effort, Christine Clarke, Jefferson Township Democratic Committee chair, set up a Food Pantry Friends Go-Fund-Me site. The fundraising then became an effort by the three Democratic candidates running for seats on the local municipal council, Pamela Fadden, Keith Peters, and Maria Short.

“As a coastal state on the front lines of climate impacts, we can’t afford to refrain from investing in a just transition to renewable energy, cleaner transportation, lower emissions and well-paying jobs in solar, wind, storage and energy efficiency work. The recovery from covid-19 must be a green recovery for sake of public health, safety and economic wellness, inclusive of tax fairness provisions to ensure we fund the clean energy investments that protect us long-term,” said Christine Clarke, Jersey Renews steering committee member.

Everything at the Jefferson Township gazebo–from the cloudless sky to the comfortable temperatures to the people standing around in small groups chatting amicably–everything about Saturday June 13 had an air of hope and promise. Amidst that hope came the raising of a rainbow flag in honor of LGBTQ+ citizens.

Christine Clarke, chair of the Jefferson Township Democratic Committee, told The Jefferson Chronicle that when she was running for NJ state assembly, she promised her supporters that she would commit to raising a flag to honor LGBTQ+ citizens. Even though she didn’t win the assembly seat, she wanted to keep the promise.

Public officials and parents running for political office in New Jersey will soon be able to use campaign funds to pay for certain child care expenses, after Gov. Phil Murphy signed S698 into law Thursday.

In commemoration of World Oceans Day and as an Honorary Advisor to the UN NGO Committee on Sustainable Development-NY, 26th Legislative District State Assembly candidate Christine Clarke was invited by the President of the Committee to attend a voyage aboard PeaceBoat on Saturday, June 8.
