MAYS LANDING, NJ – Democratic congressional candidate Bayly Winder hosted his Trust & Integrity Forum on Tuesday evening, November 12th, at Independent Spirits Distillery in Woolwich Township – marking the third public town hall since launching his challenge to former Democrat turned Trump rubber stamp Jeff Van Drew.

The event featured an open discussion with local residents about corruption, campaign finance reform, and the urgent need to restore faith in government. The forum also coincided with the release of Winder’s new white paper, “Cleaning Up Our Own House: Restoring Trust in Our Government,” a comprehensive plan to curb dark money, impose Congressional and Supreme Court term limits, stop insider trading in politics, and ban partisan gerrymandering nationwide. To demonstrate this commitment, Bayly signed the Unrig Washington Pledge from End Citizens United and The Candidate Pledge from American Promise.

“Both parties have lost their way – serving special interests instead of the public,” said Bayly Winder. “But no one embodies that broken system more than Jeff Van Drew. He chose the Mar-a-Lago billionaires over the middle-class families he was elected to serve. South Jersey deserves better.”

Winder, a former national security official, has built a campaign centered on substance and solutions – breaking the mold of traditional congressional candidates. He has focused on hosting accessible community forums across South Jersey to discuss how government can once again work for the people it serves. “Our campaign is about ideas, not insiders,” Winder added. “Voters deserve leaders who will take on corruption wherever it exists – and stand up for South Jersey families over corporate lobbyists. I won’t be taking a cent of corporate PAC money.”
