2014 Kickoff Meeting with Assemblyman Upendra Chivukula

DEMOCRATIC ALLIANCE KICKS OFF 2014  ON JANUARY 8. 

The Hillsborough Democratic Alliance will meet at 6:30 PM on Wednesday, January 8 at Avalon Assisted Living, 393 Amwell Road, Hillsborough.  The Alliance is off to a strong start in 2014, unanimously electing its officer slate in December.  Assemblyman Upendra Chivukula (D-17) will be addressing the group with an update on state politics and pending legislation. 

Focusing on governmental transparency and accountability, particularly in local government, the Alliance provides all participants with an opportunity to discuss the issues facing Hillsborough, Somerset County, New Jersey, and the nation as a whole.  Members can become civically engaged in any area of concern, including charitable causes, economics, environment, and education, among others. Jim Bergstrom, HDA newly elected President, and Tom Biro, longtime Hillsborough resident and active Democrat, will also be addressing the group at the January 8 meeting.
