Linda Stender to Speak at January 25 Somerset Hills Business Network Meeting
Assemblywoman Linda Stender will be the keynote speaker at our next business networking meeting at the Bridgewater Manor on January 25 at 8 a.m.
Stender is now serving her third term in the New Jersey Assembly, representing New Jersey’s 22nd legislative district. She is running for Congress for the 7th Congressional District in 2008, having come within 1 percentage point of defeating Mike Ferguson in 2006; Ferguson has since announced that he will not be running again this year.
Stender spearheaded the effort to combat Global Warming in New Jersey. Her legislation, “the Global Warming Response Act” made New Jersey the first state in the nation to establish mandatory 80% reductions of green house gas emissions by 2050. Linda is also an advocate for making New Jersey a center for stem cell research; has worked to fight childhood obesity by sponsoring legislation to prohibit the sale of junk food in schools during breakfast and lunch. And she supports a citizen’s tax convention to address property tax reform.
