Women for Kyrillos Launches Statewide at Rally in Middlesex
Christine Giordano Hanlon, Esq. Announced As Statewide Chair
Edison, August 6… Today, as a growing number of women across New Jersey put their support behind Joe Kyrillos for U.S. Senate, the official Women for Kyrillos coalition launched statewide at an event in Edison. Women from around the state attended the rally led by Kathleen Donovan, Bergen County Executive. Donovan introduced members of the coalition leadership, including the statewide Chair, Christine Giordano Hanlon, a mother of four and prominent New Jersey attorney, and Senator Kyrillos’ wife, Susan Doctorian Kyrillos.
“It is my pleasure to be here today celebrating the commencement of this important coalition within the Kyrillos for Senate campaign,” said Donovan. “Women have a strong voice in this and all elections, and Senator Kyrillos understands all the important roles women play in making decisions, including for whom to vote. Joe has the tools necessary to put our country back on track and this coalition will make sure that is known to every woman voter come November.”
“Our nation is in economic crisis. From businesswomen to stay-at-home moms, women across our state are suffering from the failed policies of Senator Bob Menendez,” said Hanlon. “With record high unemployment, long-term underemployment, the high cost of gas, goods and services, our families are struggling.
“We must send a leader to Washington who has a clear vision for our future; who understands that more taxes, more regulation and more spending will destroy the economic prosperity that our nation was built on. Joe Kyrillos is that leader.”
Susan Doctorian Kyrillos, wife of Senator Kyrillos, will also take a leadership role in the Women for Kyrillos coalition. “This election is about ensuring a bright future for our children and grandchildren. Joe understands the daily pressures women of all ages face and will be strong voice for all New Jersey women in the U.S. Senate. Throughout his career, Joe has worked tirelessly on behalf of women and our families. He has been an advocate on domestic violence issues, needed education reforms, and keeping our environment clean. Joe has a plan that will get our country back on track, ensuring that every woman, young or old, has the opportunity to be successful.”
“I am so humbled by the growing support I see across the state,” said Senator Joe Kyrillos. “Our message is gaining momentum, and I know that will only strengthen under the leadership of Christine. The presence of strong female leaders like she and Susan will empower more women across the state to get involved, and join our cause to restore the American spirit.”
The Women for Kyrillos launch was held outside the offices of M3 Realty, a residential real estate firm owned by female businesswoman Meiling Kravarik. Kravarik founded M3 Realty in 1989. The company now employs several full and part-time associates and has added a second office in Plainsboro.
Throughout his time as a state Senator, Joe Kyrillos has spearheaded initiatives that aim to strengthen and empower women. There are several components in his newly released jobs plan that aim to do just that. One component provides women with the opportunity to strike a healthy work-life balance by encouraging employers to provide flexible work hours with high advancement opportunities to their female employees. Another component involves funding for women-focused job training programs in fields that are rapidly growing and yet underrepresented by women, like science, technology, and engineering.
