New Jersey Dem Cast lead. Andy Kim won. The work to change our state & our party has only begun. Democracy is worth fighting for everywhere, every time.
Pinned

I still believe in the promise & potential of this country.
I know democracy is always worth the work, the headache & the heartache.

Happy Presidents’ Day to the last real president we had. Americans now see he delivered a strong economy, low unemployment, major infrastructure investment, the CHIPS Act, & the 1st Black woman on the SC. He was treated shamefully—his only “crime” was aging. I hope we learn from how good we had it.

Wonder why we have the Caldwells?
“After George Washington and Governor Livingston, Caldwell was the third most wanted man in New Jersey,” Bob Gula, a member of the Forgotten Victory Trail Association said.
Our 250th needs more attention.

Worse than incompetent. This is malfeasance and very close to homicide. If they were trained professionals, we'd call it criminal malpractice. Although, if they were trained professionals, those individuals would know better.
