My name is Bayly Winder, and I am the Democrat who will defeat Jeff Van Drew and flip New Jersey's 2nd blue.

I know what it takes to serve in government and fight for our people. Van Drew caves to this White House. I won't.

Repost this and give me a follow. Let's win this.

Last night we had a town hall with dozens of New Jersey residents. While Jeff Van Drew hides from constituents, I hear directly from them. It's time for some new leadership in #NJ02.

Airports across the country, including Newark, are running understaffed because of the government shutdown. It's leading to longer delays, more cancellations, and an air traffic system on the verge of collapse. Jeff Van Drew doesn't care. He's fine with the chaos.

Join us tomorrow at 6 PM at the Elks Lodge in Egg Harbor Township for the Jeff Van Who? Town Hall!

New Jersey listen up: we have a critical election in less than ONE MONTH. If you haven't made a plan yet, make a plan, and get out to vote for Mikie Sherrill!!

From Hammonton to Salem, our farms feed the region and fuel our economy.

Unfortunately, right now, because of tariffs, many farmers are struggling.

Let’s come together and invest in the next generation of South Jersey farmers.

Great evening in Salem County with so much energy behind the Simmons & Bailey campaign in LD3! Let’s keep that momentum going—remember to vote for Democrats up and down the ballot this November.

It’s been a week since I invited Jeff Van Drew to my 10/7 town hall. Still radio silence. He should have plenty of time on his hands since he shut down the government because he didn't want to protect our healthcare.

It's now been more than twelve hours since the government shutdown began, and Jeff Van Drew is nowhere to be found. He shut the government down and has refused to extend critical subsidies to lower your health insurance premiums. South Jersey deserves better.

Pete Hegseth just spent millions flying generals and admirals from around the world to Virginia — so the president could float using U.S. cities as military training grounds. Meanwhile, we’re on the brink of a government shutdown. This is reckless, wasteful, and wrong.

Donald Trump and Jeff Van Drew are marching our nation to a government shutdown and threatening to gut your health care while firing tens of thousands of federal employee. This isn't leadership, it's failure. We need to defeat Van Drew and flip the House blue. I'm ready.

I had the privilege of working with brave FBI officials whose mission was keeping Americans safe. It wasn’t about loyalty to any president or dangerous partisan games—it was about protecting our nation. That’s what real public service looks like.

Once again, these tariffs will directly harm American consumers and small businesses. Get ready for prescription drug and furniture prices to rise fast. When I'm in Congress, I will vote to end this disastrous economic policy. www.nbcnews.com/news/amp/rcn...

Trump says U.S. will impose new tariffs on heavy trucks, drugs and kitchen cabinets

The U.S. Chamber of Commerce urged the department not to impose new tariffs.

A great night with the Dennis Township Democratic Club! We may be over one year away from election day, but the work is happening now because South Jersey deserves much better than Jeff Van Drew.

Bayly Winder for Congress @winder4congress.bsky.social · 12d

Jeff Van Drew, South Jersey deserves answers. I’ll be hosting a town hall on October 7. It’s time you faced the people you represent.

Because of spineless politicians like Jeff Van Drew, our local PBS affiliate is shutting down next year. This isn't just wrong, it undermines the freedom of the press. We need leaders that will protect the First Amendment, not degrade it. newjerseyglobe.com/media/new-je...

I had the opportunity to meet with the local chapter of the National Active and Retired Federal Employees Association. With so many FAA personnel, military members, and federal employees calling NJ-2 home, this was a great chance to hear directly from those who dedicate their service to our nation.

Tylenol for a headache 👍
Vaccines to protect our families 👍
Firing CDC experts and pushing dangerous misinformation 👎

New Jersey's 2nd Congressional District could decide the House majority next year. I'm the Democrat running to flip this seat blue. But, I cannot do it without your support. I'm ready to vote to release the Epstein files, protect Medicaid, and lower costs for all. Join me:

Talked recently at the Shore Diner with New Jerseyans who are ready for something different: leadership that will fight for them, not bail out their wealthy donors. Unlike Jeff Van Drew, I am ready to serve all of our residents on day one.

🚨 If the government shuts down, it's because Republicans CHOSE billionaires over working families.

In the past two weeks, Jeff Van Drew has refused to sign onto a discharge petition to release the Epstein files and voted to make sure that Affordable Care Act subsidies expire. What good has he done for our communities? Nothing. Let's defeat him.

Grateful to host the Healthcare Voices event—an important opportunity to hear directly from doctors, advocates, and community members about the devastating impact of Medicaid cuts and skyrocketing premiums.

We also discussed the path forward to ensure affordable, accessible care for everyone.

Jeff Van Drew hasn’t held a real town hall in years. I’m ready to do what he won’t: show up, listen, and talk with the people of South Jersey. If he won’t do a town hall, we’ll do one without him. See you October 7th.

When more than 75% of business executives say that they are considering raising prices, you know tariffs are out of control. Let’s bring the tariff power back to Congress, where it belongs.
