Glading to Tour City of Camden
With Influential Latino Group

Congressional candidate reaching out
across lines to build a coalition for change

BARRINGTON – Dale Glading, candidate for U.S. Congress in New Jersey's 1st District, will be touring the city of Camden with an influential Latino group, the Latino Leadership Alliance of NJ. Led by Angel Cordero, Glading and several community leaders from Camden will walk a section of Camden on Thursday, August 21.

"We are going to see first hand what 40 years of one-party Democrat rule has done to the city of Camden," Glading said. "For far too long, the Democrats have taken Camden and its residents for granted. As a result, this once proud city is now America's poorest and third most dangerous community. If there is one place in New Jersey most in need of positive change, it is Camden."

Glading's background as the founder of the nation's largest athletic prison ministry gives him a special insight into the difficulties of urban life, as the vast majority of the individuals he ministers to in prisons across America are young, minority men from the inner city.

"I have dedicated the past 21 years of my life to restoring people who have made poor choices to their God, to their families, and to their communities," Glading said. "We have to work harder to give people in places like Camden better educational and economic opportunities so they can be productive members of society, not turn to a life of crime."

"I will never take the city of Camden for granted nor ignore its citizens' cries for help," Glading concluded. "After all, my mother grew up in Fairview and my father in Cramer Hill. I am coming to Camden to meet its residents, to listen to their concerns, and to offer my help. Some say that a Republican can't go into Camden and connect with the people there, but I aim to prove them wrong."

Members of the media are invited to join Glading and community activists as they walk through the city. For more information, please contact Tim Saler at (856) 361-8989. A media advisory will be released on Wednesday with a specific time and starting location.

There is a good chance that a pair of Senators with substantial baggage will be replaced by two women a generation younger. Camden County Democrats have picked Dana Redd, a 38-year-old Camden City Councilwoman to replace Wayne Bryant, while Teresa Ruiz, 32, the Essex County Democratic Vice Chairwoman, is a leading candidate for the seat currently held by Sharpe James.

Redd would become the third African American women in the Senate (joining Shirley Turner and Nia Gill), while Ruiz would become the first Latina in the Senate, and the second Latino to serve in the upper house. Camden and Essex counties have skillfully avoided the kind of diversity battles that seem to have plagued Bergen and Hudson counties.

Redd and Ruiz may provide fresh faces in a Senate that will see a huge turnover this year, but they would also have to deal with the perception that they are products of powerful political machines. Redd is a strong ally of the Camden County Democratic organization, and Ruiz is a close ally of Newark political leader Stephen Adubato, Sr.

Redd began her political career as the Chief of Staff to Camden County Freeholder Riletta Cream, whose husband, Arnold Cream, served as Camden County Sheriff after a legendary career as a professional boxer under the name Jersey Joe Walcott. In 1976, as a third grader, she presented flowers to Mother Theresa during a visit to Sacred Heart Church in Camden.
