The Hoboken map wasn't really the normal uptown/downtown dynamic there. You clearly see Russo won 1 (PP), 2 (Fisher), and 3 (Russo.) This was about coalitions. Looks like she won 4?

I hope the next mayor listens to high quality civil servants like Barkha and Tanya, takes their advice, and gives them the leeway to work freely.

My district was 80/20, and it wasn't even close to the biggest blowout district. We all live in Union City now?

The McGreevey ward candidates:
Warren - tried, will lose by the lowest margin.
Healy - tried, but had a horrible gaffe, and swallowed by the electoral tsunami.
Boggiano - stopped making public appearances months ago.
Orleans - supposedly left the US weeks ago for family reasons.

I know Hoboken's been called, but it's a pretty tight race. That's basically what the JC runoff could have been if you ran, say, Bill O'Dea instead. Solomon still wins, but not by the insane margin.

All the ward races have been called, but now we're starting to get full data from some districts. Ridley not doing great in East Greenville is not great overall (her win seems very dependent on Solomon), but basically if they're close to tied there, Warren had no chance.

All the council races in Jersey City have been called for Team Solomon by John Heinis from Hudson County View.

TBH, the McGreevey campaign always seemed baffling to me from the start. I know I'm not the audience, but...
Question ONLY FOR NON-JERSEY CITY residents. Last year, Jim McGreevey started running billboards, posters, and sending birthday cards with very similar imagery. When you see this, not knowing anything else, what is your reaction? What is he trying to convey?

Ok, if this was called at 8:06, it's going to be a Solomon clean sweep, everyone can go to bed.

nhnj.us/ro2025/city_... has voting data updated through 4 pm. Still 4 hours to go, but based on the turnout and raw maps respectively, it looks like Solomon will win, and I'd rather be Ephros. Can't say on the other races.

California Highway 101 traffic is still a mess, despite upgrades. Could this new fix help?
This remedy will be installed next year along a segment called the Narrows, between Novato and the Sonoma County line. Caltrans recently widened those six miles by adding high-occupancy vehicle...

IIRC most of the HCDO rank and file wanted O'Dea, but Stack forced them to pick McGreevey. I think evidence shows Jersey City is pretty hostile to machine mayors, but they did themselves no favors trying to force a flawed candidate on the electorate.

have never seen anything like this! Sen. Jim beach is making a cabinet member, the attorney general and a sitting U.S. senator wait five hours and still hasn’t called them to a hearing on gutting a state corruption watchdog. Three people tried to yield to @AndyKimNJ and Beach refused.

How a homegrown company that’s been at it for so long. didn’t even get considered is beyond me. Oonee is doing great work just across the river in Jersey City and it’s a shame the Adams admin excluded the company. Eric Adams was even an early booster!
Today was the hardest day of my life. We fought for nearly a decade to bring secure bike parking to NYC and ultimately were completely excluded from the @nyc-dot.bsky.social process for citywide system. To those who believed in us and our vision, I am so sorry.
