Exactly 11 years ago today, a few of us NAHJ NYC board members were invited to visit the #whitehouse by then-President Obama and his administration. It was such an honor to be there (blurry photo aside). Part of me wishes we could take a time machine back to 2014.

Happy to have done my part in Montclair, NJ! We also have an important governor's race coming up, so many of us have been canvassing for that as well.

I'm grateful I was able to attend the @univisionny.bsky.social town halls featuring @mikiesherrill.bsky.social and Jack Ciatarelli last weekend with my colleague, Michelle. We are now less than a month away from the NJ gubernatorial election!

I got to hear @repsherrill.bsky.social speak at an event in Newark, NJ, today, and then immediately afterward, went hang gliding with a good friend in Upstate NY. Overall, it was a productive day!

Yup, we can do it, too! I especially loved Gov. Newsom as Captain America.
