#NJVotes4Kids Gets Candidates Talking About Children

Building a Better Future for New Jersey

Elected officials can make real and meaningful investments in supporting our children's healthy growth and development. They need to hear from you!

It’s time to elevate the voices of kids!

What Voters Can Do

Email your candidate. Use Kids Count data to help them become better informed on the state of children in New Jersey and share with candidates the key issues affecting infants and toddlers.

Challenge the 2023 political hopefuls to bring children’s issues to the forefront during forums, town halls and local events.

Use #NJVotes4Kids on social media to join the conversation on making children’s issues a priority in the state elections.

Encourage your friends, family and colleagues to join the #NJVotes4Kids Campaign.

What Candidates Can Do

Support the early childhood workforce. As federal COVID relief aid expires, child care providers across the state and nation will face a steep drop off in funding. These investments are critical to supporting our child care infrastructure.

Be a true champion for children. Speak up for kids on the campaign trail.
