About Democrats 2000

With soaring gas prices, war casualties continuing to mount and sustained attacks on our civil liberties, there has never been a more important time for our generation to take action and put our nation back on track.

For 15 years, Democrats 2000 has been educating young professionals across New Jersey on the issues and providing opportunities for New Jersey residents under 40 to participate in the political process. By bringing elected officials right to young voters in social settings such as bars, baseball games and bowling alleys; supporting the campaigns of more than 100 candidates under the age of 40 at every level of elected office; and encouraging young professionals to get into the habit of making low dollar political contributions; we have made sure that our generation is not ignored.

Our group’s founders believed that ‘politics is generational’ and that by offering young people an opportunity to play a meaningful role in the political apparatus of their municipalities, counties and the state, they could create a structure whereby Democrats 2000 members would play increasingly large roles within the Party. As time has gone on, they have been proven right. Among those that were active in the early years of Democrats 2000 are a County Chairman, several elected officials, and quite a few of our Party’s most respected strategists and decision makers.

Since taking over in 2002, the new generation of Democrats 2000, with the constant support of those that have come before us, have grown the organization to one that has enlisted more than 1,200 members, raised more than $200,000 and created the first truly statewide organization for young professional Democrats.

We are committed to growing the Democrats Party, giving our generation a real voice on issues that matter to us, and offering our members increased opportunities to build relationships that will last throughout their careers.
