With a focus on local issues and local solutions, our club strives to improve our community and municipal government. Wayne Township’s council currently consists of 8 Republicans and 1 lone Democrat – a Republican supermajority that has lead to:
– Overdevelopment & increased traffic (archived article)
– Vacant store fronts (video)
– A failure to recognize our town’s volunteer firefighters and EMTs (article)
– A failed attempt to gift the mayor a 640% salary increase over the holidays (article)
Wayne taxpayers deserve better than one-party rule. It’s time to try something sensible and long overdue – a balanced township council that, through checks and balances, can act in a transparent, accountable and bipartisan way to deliver for all of Wayne’s taxpayers. This approach will progress our town before it’s too late & our neighboring towns leave us behind.
All 6 ward council seats are on the 2023 ballot this November 7th. It’s time for Wayne Democrats to stand up and be heard! https://waynenjdems.org/2023-elections/

We are all Volunteers
We are Wayne Democrats who volunteer in various capacities throughout the township to help Democrats get elected to office. Join us at a meeting or reach out to us at waynenjdemocraticclub@gmail.com if there is something YOU are doing in Wayne that we can help you with – or to discuss local change you would like to see.
Donate – https://secure.actblue.com/donate/wayne-democratic-club-1
Checks (mail or in-person) and Venmo https://account.venmo.com/u/WAYNENJ-DEMSCLUB preferred.
All proceeds go towards candidates (for campaign funding: website, mailers, newspaper ads, etc.), organizing events (for fundraising and community building), hosting this website and other miscellaneous costs. We are a 100% volunteer organization with no paid staff.
Vote Vote Vote! We are missing opportunities to set things right because many people don’t get involved – even in voting. Filling out a mail-in ballot takes less than 10 minutes! Local municipal elections barely get a 25% turnout; and presidential elections rarely get 60%. Sign yourself up to vote by mail & encourage friends and family to do the same. Let’s do our part to improve turnout & strengthen democracy! (See Why Vote?)
