We shouldn’t still be hearing elevator pitches on who makes the best governor- we need to build power in working class neighborhoods!

Hudson County’s Democratic machine still reigns. How long will its dynasty last?
Fractures among its members, the end of the “county line” ballot design and continued progressive pushback have threatened the HCDO's stability and strength.
