TRENTON, N.J. — Supporters of Rachele Fruit, Socialist Workers Party candidate for U.S. president, filed 1,642 signatures, more than twice the requirement, to get on the ballot in New Jersey at the state Division of Elections in Trenton July 19.

“The enthusiastic response from workers across the state to the SWP’s ballot campaign underscores the fact that more workers are in a mood to fight today and are open to the need to break with the bosses’ parties,” Joanne Kuniansky, the SWP candidate for Senate from New Jersey, told the Militant.
