We cannot let our elections be cheated. I’m a member of the NJ 11th (congressional district) for Change advocacy group, and I am really passionate about the For the People Act currently in the U.S. House (HR-1) and Senate (S-1).
Having moved all over from Massachusetts to New Jersey, I’ve seen different ways an election can be conducted. Living in Seattle taught me the extraordinary benefits of a State of Washington vote-by-mail system in which you could vote on your own time, do your research and track your ballot.

If you thought a court order earlier this month was the last blow to Gov. Andrew Cuomo over his administration’s stilted reporting on the Covid-19 deaths in nursing home, you’re not alone.
Hopes among millions of upper-income and middle-class taxpayers for a repeal of the Trump administration’s limits on their federal deductions will likely be on hold for now, as an effort to include the measure in the COVID-19 aid package is poised to fail.

The last time a Democratic governor ran for re-election in New Jersey, it didn’t go so well.
In 2009, the U.S. was in a devastating recession, and Governor Jon Corzine had spent much of his first term fighting with Democrats in the state legislature. He went on to lose a close race to the Republican candidate, former U.S. Attorney Chris Christie.
This year, Governor Phil Murphy is seeking re-election under circumstances that sound strikingly similar, except for one obvious difference.
“I think the pandemic really defined him and gave him a chance to show leadership skills in a way that people hadn t seen prior to that,” said Mike DuHaime of Mercury Public Affairs, a top Republican strategist in New Jersey who crafted Christie’s two successful campaigns.
