Ridgewood, NJ — Once a rallying cry for progressive climate policy, the Green New Deal is now becoming a political liability for many Democrats. President Joe Biden once hailed it as a hallmark of his first term, but as President Trump works to dismantle much of its agenda, many on the Left are quietly stepping away from the once-celebrated plan.
Friends,
Last month I was thrilled to announce our campaign for Governor, and the positive response from grassroots activists and donors has been overwhelming. While our strong standing in this race makes this decision even more heartbreaking, unfortunately, unforeseen professional obligations have made it untenable for me to continue in this race as a candidate for Governor.
To everyone who supported our campaign, thank you. Your message was heard loud and clear, and you do have a voice. Together we will rise above, and we will ultimately Take Back New Jersey.
Thank you for all that you do,
Doug Steinhardt
