The real benefit of fairer primary ballots: More people getting engaged rather than tuning out.
Now we need Ranked Choice Voting to ensure consensus candidates move on to November, with the larger party unified behind them.
Democratic turnout in the 7th and 12th district House primaries fueled a surge of new registrations in June, outpacing Republicans by a 3-1 margin.

A lot of people get pissed when cops do crosswalk enforcement stings. I don't think they do it enough.

Today, Hightstown's Democratic Committee exposed a pattern of controversial statements from Borough Council candidate, Zack Geltzeiler, and urged him to remove himself from the race.
Our letter, and a small sample of what spurred it, is shared here: hightstowndemocrats.com/elec…

Just shameful to watch a nominee for Governor in New Jersey stand on a debate stage and say this.
WATCH: Jack Ciattarelli defends racial segregation in schools, implying it's only bad if predominantly Black schools are the ones underperforming. #NJGov

We just won our Senate race! As a son of immigrants, a public school kid, I never could’ve imagined I’d get to serve as a US Senator. I’m deeply humbled and grateful to NJ and for everyone who got us here. I promise I’ll serve with honor and integrity as a public servant for all.

Earlier today, I told Assembly leadership that I will not support A4045, which makes significant changes to New Jersey’s open public records act. Out of respect for my caucus colleagues, I normally don’t publicly announce my “no” votes ahead of time. But this is too important.

At a recent meeting, members of the Hightstown Democratic Club unanimously voted to endorse Congressman Andy Kim in his upcoming Senate election. We urge you to vote in the June 4th primary election, and to join us in supporting Andy Kim. (1/4)

Hey @NJGov — how many people do you think have @NJTRANSIT tattoos? Just me? Anyone else?

Short parable on the need for local journalism: My wife and I live in a small town (~25,000 people) in Middlesex County, NJ, where we recently had a referendum on whether or not to increase the fire department budget by about 60% (🧵 continues)

Kim supporters clearly saw this as an attempt to neuter the line in the counties where he can actually win it democratically, allowing Murphy to continue taking advantage of it in counties where the line is really awarded by a few people at most.
WOW: @arleneqperezesq says Hunterdon Dems wants to have any Senate candidate with 30 percent of the vote win the line. This was met with loud boos. This means both @TeamTammyNJ and @AndyKimNJ would likely share the line. Being voted on now.

Big deal: Dem Sen. Troy Singleton says the county line should be abolished, says he would support legislation that would establish block ballots in the state (such legislation is being sponsored by Dem Sen. Shirley Turner).
Hurts to see my hometown taken over by this angry mob. Old Bridge is a complicated town, and I'm glad I moved on. But it's still hard to watch, knowing how it affects many good families stuck there in the minority.
Culture wars fully erupted at the Old Bridge Board of Education meeting after a group brought in an outspoken North Carolina pastor to help preach their views against Policy 5756 — NJ’s recommended transgender student guidance for school districts. ow.ly/t9g350QGtRg

Not unstoppable. I’m 23 pts up in polls and am building an amazing movement of people who are done with the broken NJ politics. I’ve won “impossible” races before and ready to do it again. Join me: andykim.com
Tammy Murphy, the First Lady of New Jersey, is leveraging her husband’s power to lock up the Democratic nomination for Senate. She appears unstoppable. trib.al/XnSBJMI
My lawn has been waiting for this moment
I never could have imagined I’d be driving through town and see my own name on signs like this. Every time I see them my heart warms. We are all in this together. Neighbors standing up for one another and for NJ.

Fourth loan relief program we've seen from Biden, yet I still encounter folks who think he has done nothing. It's simply not true. Remember, a conservative Supreme Court blocked sweeping reform. Biden admin didn't give up. The relief we see now is carefully crafted & court-proof.

The only choice. Get ready to vote in next year's primary.
Last night I kicked off my Senate campaign in the same place I launched my first Congressional campaign six years ago. Back then many people told me it was impossible for us to win. I wasn’t sure I’d have the energy and resources to continue. But then something happened…
When I showed up at my 2017 launch I thought maybe a few dozen people would show. Instead, when I walked into the Double Nickel, hundreds were packed in. It was the first time that I started to truly believe that I could win.
Many that showed up didn’t know each other. But we would join forces and build one of the strongest grassroots operations in NJ history. We were pulled together by a common feeling that things in our nation needed to change. And 11 months later, we pulled off one of most improbable wins in the country.
Last night, once again hundreds showed up with an unstoppable excitement. People are ready for change. They are hungry for new leadership. The energy filled me with hope. I believe. We can win! We will win!
