NJ voters are largely unaware that there’s a primary for governor next month (June 10) according to a Rutgers survey. This - in spite of the 9 well-funded candidates, including many already spending heavily on TV, etc. 1/3

Video taken this morning in Newark, outside new migrant detention center that’s run by one of the country’s largest private prison companies. The site began housing detainees facing deportation on May 1, and has a 15-year contract with ICE.

Look what happens when NJ State Police troopers actually enforce traffic safety laws on the Turnpike and Parkway. Serious accidents plummeted by 18% in 1st quarter of this year, compared with 1st quarter of 2024, when troopers had essentially stopped writing tickets b/c they were mad at AG.

From Oct. 2023 thru Nov. 2024, NJ has paid Randy Mastro and his NYC law firm $1.1 million to fight congestion pricing, according to data obtained through a record request. This likely does not include the 6-hour court hearing 2 weeks ago or the pending appeal. $250/hour is reduced rate, docs note.

When Menendez was convicted of taking bribes and resigned from the US Senate and 2 other members of NJ's congressional delegation died, NJ lost seniority on many vital committees in Washington. Senator Kim was just named to these committees:
