Sue proudly hails from New Jersey’s 7th Congressional District.
She grew up in Clinton, attended Clinton Public School and Voorhees High School, and calls Hunterdon County home. After playing college and professional basketball, Sue became a teacher and successful basketball coach in Warren County, leading two teams to championships.
As a longtime advocate, Sue became a leader in the movement for New Jersey’s public education when she stood up to then-Governor Chris Christie in order to protect teachers and fight against cuts to our public schools.
As Executive Director of the New Jersey Working Families Alliance, she spent years fighting corruption and the waste of taxpayer dollars in Trenton – taking on both parties to put working families ahead of partisan politics.
Most notably, Sue led a coalition of unions, advocates, and community members to shed light on a $1 billion corporate tax incentive program in Camden that, instead of creating good jobs for working people, lined the pockets of politically connected corporate leaders – a program which resulted in a criminal investigation, a multi-million dollar penalty, and the recent indictments of South Jersey Democratic party bosses.
