Greetings,

You did it!

You helped to change the conversation in this year's gubernatorial contest.

When we launched the What About the Kids? campaign in August, there was hardly any talk among leading candidates about issues that matter most for New Jersey children.

That changed.

By mid-October, candidates were talking a lot about children. Preschool and health coverage for uninsured kids became prominent topics in debates, political advertisements and media interviews.

Thanks to all of you who signed onto the campaign, sent emails and letters to candidates, or attended our gubernatorial candidates' forum in Trenton.

Your actions encouraged candidates to talk about their plans for New Jersey children.

You let candidates know the public wants their governor to ensure all kids have the opportunity to grow into healthy, productive citizens able to contribute to the future prosperity of our state.

Thank you.
