New Jersey Organizing Project worked hard on the phones to turn their members out and elect Vin Gopal, and the results speak for themselves: the state senator won 17 of 19 towns in a “competitive” district.
Gopal won his race by only 4 percentage points in 2021; this November, he won 60 percent to 39 percent.
This organizing-driven win created a coattails effect for down-ballot races and demonstrated the power of an organized, activated base.
