Bayly Winder for Congress

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.
Our immigration system is broken — and both parties share the blame. We can secure the border and treat people with dignity. What we can’t do is allow masked agents to abduct people in our communities with zero accountability. That’s unacceptable. It’s time for real, fundamental reform.

The Democratic Action Network LBI event in Ship Bottom was full of energy. A room full of people fired up and ready to carry this momentum into next year. Let’s do this!

This Thanksgiving:
⬆️ Turkey up 36%
⬆️ Veggie trays up 61%
⬆️ Onions up 56%
…and more.
These spikes aren’t random — they’re the result of reckless tariffs. In Congress, I’ll work to take that power out of the White House and put it back where it belongs.

I’m grateful to receive the endorsement of Doug Fisher, who served as New Jersey’s Secretary of Agriculture for three governors from 2009–2023 and previously represented LD-3 in the Assembly. Doug’s leadership has strengthened the farming industry statewide and our communities.

Jeff Van Drew promised voters he’d protect Medicaid. Then he turned around and cast the deciding vote on a bill that gutted it. When Trump moves to slash Medicare and Social Security, Van Drew will cave — because he answers to the White House, not South Jersey.

Yesterday, I partnered with Pastor Collins Days and the Second Baptist Church in Atlantic City for a community food drive. I’m grateful to everyone who volunteered, donated, and showed up. Together, we served more than one hundred of our neighbors.

Violence has no place in American politics. Here’s my statement on the recent and deeply troubling events.
November 22, 2025 at 10:07 PM
Jeff Van Drew calls this a “golden age” for America’s economy. Here are the facts:

❌Layoffs at a 20-year high
❌Highest unemployment since 2021
❌1 in 4 households lives paycheck to paycheck

A golden age for billionaires maybe — not for South Jersey families.

Day 2 at the League of Municipalities kept the momentum rolling — 25,000 steps and dozens of conversations in two days. I’m fired up about the road ahead.

Jeff Van Drew and Tom Kean cut taxes for billionaires while slashing healthcare and food benefits for working people. Next November, we'll flip these seats.

Day 1 at the League of Municipalities conference was full of energy. I hit 11 events and spoke with leaders from across the state about the road ahead and how we build real change in South Jersey.

We're taking the fight to Jeff Van Grinch — with a little holiday spirit. Join me at the Cardinal in Atlantic City on Dec. 9 at 6 PM for our Jeff Van Grinchmas holiday party. Let's celebrate, organize, and keep building the momentum to flip this seat. Tickets available below.

Today’s the day. Any member of Congress who votes against releasing the Epstein files is morally bankrupt. If you’re protecting predators, you shouldn’t be in public office.

I joined Indivisible Empathy United in Linwood on Veterans Day to stand with our community. South Jersey deserves a representative who supports our veterans and puts working families above the White House and billionaires. Together, we can flip this seat.

I’m honored to be endorsed by Dr. Edward H. Salmon, a community leader with an incredible record of service. His experience includes serving as an Assemblyman representing New Jersey’s 1st Legislative District, a member of Governor Florio’s Cabinet, Mayor of Millville, and so much more.

Great conversation with the Waretown Dem Club about the path to better politics and flipping this district. People are fired up and ready for change.

Congratulations to Dr. Ed Salmon and all of this year’s Stockton University Hughes Center Honors awardees. It was a great night celebrating community leaders who move South Jersey forward.

I’m not taking a cent of corporate PAC money — and I’ll fight to overturn Citizens United. It’s time for politics that works for people, not corporations.

My mission is to fight every single day for the folks who don’t have $500 million in Bitcoin. I’m here to fight for working families — not the criminals who flew to Epstein Island or the billionaires partying at Mar-a-Lago.
Eric Trump: "You can send $500 million worth of bitcoin on a Sunday night at 11pm while having a glass of wine with your wife for virtually zero fees."

Last night in Woolwich, I hosted the third town hall of this campaign — and announced my trust and integrity platform. Together, we had an energetic conversation about building a government that works for working people and actually holds itself accountable.

Public trust in government has been in decline for decades — and for good reason.
Corruption. Insider deals. Dysfunction.

It’s time to clean up Washington.

Here’s the plan I’m announcing tonight at my town hall in Woolwich.

Release the Epstein files—now. Stop protecting the powerful. If you were part of it, you need to face justice.

Today we honor the veterans across South Jersey and our entire country who have worn our nation’s uniform with courage and integrity. Your service reminds us of the true meaning of community and sacrifice. Thank you—today and every day. 🇺🇸

Join me this Wednesday in Woolwich for a town hall focused on ethics and integrity. I’m excited to hear from our community and share my plan to bring accountability back to Congress.
