Building A Better State
During this unprecedented era where cynical politics has been met with a heightened awareness of and involvement in civic life, we at Babs PAC have decided to embrace what we know to be in the public interest and advocate tirelessly for those policy outcomes that affect New Jersey residents on a daily basis.
From protecting open space and natural preserves to ensuring that there is clean drinking water in every sink and at every school water fountain, we believe that the environment needs to be preserved not only for our own sake but also for future generations.
As the COVID-19 induced lockdowns and transition to remote work and learning have highlighted and exacerbated the digital divide, it is abundantly clear that broadband is a necessity in the modern world and needs to be treated as such by our elected and appointed leadership. We believe that the future of global commerce is digital and while that transition ramps into high gear at this moment in history, it is essential that government keeps pace with the private sector in service to all communities.
With our unique collection of skills, insight, and research-backed policy proposals, we at Babs PAC collaborate to direct attention and resources to the most forward-thinking candidates and ballot initiatives. Babs PAC is in a prime position to advance the cause for increased investment by the government itself, in itself, to ensure that GovTech keeps pace with the private sector and evolves for a new generation of leadership and service delivery.
Ultimately, it is our unwavering belief that we can create change if and only if we advance the causes that we believe in, day in and day out through concrete actions in our daily lives. This doesn’t have to be a heavy lift. The late, great New Jerseyan Donald M. Payne once said that there is “dignity in being able to create change without rupture”. At Babs PAC we aspire to embrace the spirit of Congressman Payne's words while working within the system as it exists to improve policy outcomes in New Jersey at the local, county, and state-level - one community, one candidate, one ballot measure, and one election at a time.
