Democrat Club Refuses To Allow
Glading to Meet Local Democrats

Independent, reform congressional candidate
not allowed to rent Democrat Club hall to
host town hall meeting for local Democrats

BARRINGTON – Dale Glading, candidate for U.S. Congress in New Jersey’s 1st District, was blocked from renting the JFK Democrat Club hall in Runnemede after attempting to host a town hall meeting there for local Democrats to come and ask the candidates questions about their positions on the issues.

“I am disappointed that the JFK Democrat Club refused to allow my campaign to rent their hall,” Glading said. “I had thought that the Club would be supportive of my desire to invite local Democrats to come and ask their congressional candidates about the issues. Clearly, they do not share my desire for an open, democratic discussion in this campaign.”

Tim Saler, Glading’s campaign manager, explained the situation in further detail.

“We called the Club yesterday to inquire about renting their hall for a town hall meeting,” Saler said. “We were prepared to pay for the venue on our own and invite our opponent to come debate the issues before local Democrats. We were shocked and dismayed at the Club’s immediate refusal to rent to us.”

“It’s bad enough that the Democrat leadership has disenfranchised Democrats in this election by refusing to allow them to elect the candidate of their choosing,” Saler concluded. “We had no reason to believe a Democrat Club would refuse to allow local Democrats to ask their congressional candidates questions about the issues. Now we know otherwise.”
