| Packed house at IBEW local 400 for DFA rally in support of Vin Gopal |
It was standing room only this past Sunday when Democrats from around Monmouth County showed up at the IBEW Local 400 Union Hall in Wall Township to attend a Democracy For America (DFA) rally in support of Vin Gopal's candidacy for Monmouth County Democratic Chairman.
The event featured national DFA Chairman Jim Dean, who gave Gopal the organization's endorsement for the Monmouth County Chair position. Joining Dean in endorsing Vin were Monmouth County Mayors, Matthew Doherty (Belmar), Julie Shreck (Bradley Beach), Mike Ryan (Lake Como), Randy Bishop (Neptune), Ed Johnson (Asbury Park) and many other elected officials.
It really was quite an event. In recent memory, I can't remember being in a room, surrounded by so many vocally supportive people. It was refreshing to hear all the enthusiastic hooting and hollering taking place in support of not only Vin Gopal but also for the many progressive ideas and principals mentioned by those that stood in front of the crowd to speak and show support for Vin. It kind of reminded me more of gospel revival meeting than a political rally in support of a candidate.
I am glad that I was able to attend the DFA rally and show my support for Vin Gopal's candidacy, if the enthusiasm that was shown in that union hall is any indication of things to come, Vin shouldn't have any problems winning the Chairmanship of the Monmouth Dems and Democrats in general, should make out very well county wide this November.
Here are a few pictures that I took at the event:
