DAPAC is proud to announce its ninth endorsement for the 2008 Congressional election: Dennis Shulman. This fall he will be running against Scott Garrett in the hotly contested fifth district of New Jersey.
New Jersey's fifth district is currently held by staunch Republican Scott Garrett, a Republican who has voted to drill in ANWR, extend the Patriot Act, bar same sex marriage, ban stem cell research, oppose all abortion legislation (including cases of rape and incest), and oppose troop withdrawal from Iraq. The American Conservative Union gave Garrett a score of 100 percent in 2004, 2005 and 2006. It is obvious that we need a strong Democratic candidate like Dennis Shulman to bring progressive leadership to this district.
Renowned author, educator, and clinical psychologist, Dr. Dennis G. Shulman has dedicated his life to serving all segments of the community. Dr. Shulman has lived in New Jersey’s Fifth Congressional District for more than 25 years. Shulman grew up in a working class family and lost his sight at a young age. During high school, Dennis worked in a toy factory to help his family pay the bills. Later, he graduated from Brandeis in the class of 1972 Magna cum Laude and Phi Beta Kappa. That same year Dennis’ volunteer activities on behalf of the developmentally disabled earned him a Special White House Commendation for Outstanding Humanitarian Service and The David Aranow Award for Outstanding Achievement in Social Welfare.
Dennis then went to Harvard University to earn a Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology and Public Practice. Just two years into the program Dennis won a Training Fellowship from the National Institute for Mental Health. He also began what has become an extended series of teaching positions, professional publications, postdoctoral studies, and speaking engagements.
Graduating from Harvard, Dennis began his career as a clinical psychologist and as an educator, including more than a decade at Fordham. In 1997, Dennis founded the National Training Program in Contemporary Psychoanalysis at The National Institute for the Psychotherapies, which he continues to serve.
In 2003, Dennis was ordained as a Rabbi. That same year he published his book, The Genius of Genesis: A Psychoanalyst and Rabbi Examines the First Book of the Bible. Recently, CQ Politics changed the rating in the race due to Shulman’s signs of viability to reflect a much more competitive race than what was initially thought.
Please help support Dennis Shulman in his campaign by sending a donation made payable to “Shulman for Congress” to us at DAPAC where we can forward it along to him. |
