Congratulations to Linda Mastellone - Hunterdon DFA's first homegrown local candidate - elected tonight to Flemington Borough Council. WIth her win, the Democrats take control in the Hunterdon County seat.

Congratulations too ... to the many Hunterdon DFA members who showed up today to drive Linda's win, and showed up over & over for weeks to provide the boots on the ground that introduced Linda to the voters. Thanks to those of you who wrote checks!

What's extraordinary ... is how DFA members took possession of this race, whether you lived in Flemington, or Lebanon, Union Twp., Clinton Twp., Califon, Raritan Twp.... Even Somerset & Middlesex counties (wow). You made Linda's win a priority, and you are extraordinary.

GOTV weekend kicked off with high-energy with DFA Chair Jim Dean and our own Linda Stender. And from now on, every win - like Linda Mastellone's, like Richard Kuhrt's in Raritan Twp. and Melonie Marano's win as Somerset Freeholder - cracks open opportunity for us to elect Stender to Congress in 2008. That's what you've done.

Tomorrow ... we have meetup scheduled. Let's use it as an opportunity to raise a glass in toast to ourselves, and to plan What's Next - - Hunterdon DFA, Wed. 7pm, Friendly Grounds on Mine St.

Rest easy Hunterdon DFA, you are amazing. >>>>> Rosi Efthim
