Dr. Thelma Witherspoon Endorses Tim Alexander for Congress

We’re thrilled to announce that Dr. Thelma Witherspoon, a Hamilton Township Committeewoman and vice chair of the Atlantic County Democratic Committee, has officially endorsed Tim Alexander for Congress. A tireless community leader, her decision to back Tim in the upcoming Democratic primary for NJ-2 is a powerful sign of grassroots momentum; it shows that dedicated local leaders recognize our campaign’s people-first vision.

Dr. Witherspoon is a respected Atlantic County Democratic leader, and her support means she believes in our mission of community empowerment.

Shared Values: In her own words, “Tim’s campaign is about building an equitable future where every family can thrive and prosper,” and he “has refused corporate PAC money because he understands that public service is about communities, not corporations.” Her statement highlights our commitment to families and communities over big-money interests.

Dr. Witherspoon joins Atlantic County Democratic Chair Michael Suleiman in endorsing Tim. This growing list of endorsements from local Democrats shows more leaders are rallying to our cause. Each new supporter helps energize volunteers and voters as we head into the June primary.

Dr. Witherspoon’s words capture exactly what our campaign is about. She said:

“I am endorsing Tim Alexander for Congress because his values and campaign are about building an equitable future where every family can thrive and prosper. Unlike other candidates, Tim has refused corporate PAC money because he understands that public service is about communities, not corporations.”

These powerful words underscore our focus on everyday families and neighborhood strength. Like Dr. Witherspoon, we believe leadership should serve people, not big corporations. Our grassroots campaign refuses corporate PAC contributions because we agree with her: real public service starts with communities, not special interests.

Dr. Witherspoon’s endorsement is a win for our grassroots team and now it’s time to turn that energy into action. With her support making headlines, we’re more energized than ever to reach voters across NJ-2. Here’s how you can help keep the momentum going in this primary:

Volunteer with our campaign. Join Tim’s team at community events, help canvass neighborhoods, or make calls to spread our message.

Spread the word. Share Dr. Witherspoon’s endorsement on social media and talk to your friends and family about why we need a people-powered campaign.

Vote and get out the vote. Make a plan to vote in the June Democratic primary, and encourage your neighbors to do the same. Every vote for Tim brings us closer to a congressperson who reflects our values.

We are deeply grateful to Dr. Witherspoon and all supporters who believe in Tim’s vision. Let’s build on this endorsement and together elect leadership that puts communities first. Join us, because when we work together, no victory is too big and no vote is too small.
