MONTCLAIR -- In the lead up to Nov. 8, Green Party presidential candidate Jill Stein will be making a stop in New Jersey.

Stein is holding a Pre-Election Day Rally on Nov. 4 at Montclair State University, her campaign announced.

"The Green Party is committed to furthering its momentum from this year's presidential election and advancing the causes of true progressives at all levels of government," said Richard Harris, New Jersey state coordinator for the Jill Stein for President campaign.

The rally will also include appearances by the party's yet-to-be-announced candidates for a number of local and statewide offices, including governor.

"Dr. Stein's appearance here in New Jersey highlights the party's desire to play a key role in every election cycle, from presidential to gubernatorial to municipal races," Harris said.

The event is meant to position the Green Party as a "noteworthy option for New Jersey voters," according to the announcement.

The rally will also serve as a town hall meeting, in which Stein will answer questions from the crowd.

In a recent poll, Stein - who was also the party's nominee in the 2012 presidential election - has lagged in the polls behind major party nominees Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump, and Libertarian Party candidate Gary Johnson.

Still the party, which hosted another Stein Rally last month at Rutgers, says it is gaining ground in the Garden State.

"If this year's election cycle has demonstrated anything, it's that voters are fed up with the status quo and want to see a party emerge that will stand up for the people's interests, not the special interests," said Julie Saporito-Acuna, chair of the Green Party of New Jersey.

"The Green Party of New Jersey will be the only party in next year's elections that is truly committed to social and environmental justice, fighting on behalf of workers, and holding Trenton accountable."

Doors to the Nov. 4 rally at the Montclair State University Conference Center open at 6 p.m. Attendees can RSVP here.
