NJ-SEN: Mikie Sherrill for Senate

[RandySF]

Please Lord let it happen.

[madaboutharry]

1. I wish I could be listening in on all the phone conversations

going on right now.
One can only imagine.
Rep. Mikie Sherrill would be a wonderful choice.

[BOSSHOG]

2. Potential horrid phone call

GOP trying to get Menendez to flip parties. Offers funding for his defense. I only have bad thoughts about republicans

[JustAnotherGen]

4. No

It's pretty convenient this is happening weeks before our state wide election.

The replacement will be locked down this weekend.

Call with down ballot candidates tonight. I've voiced my opinion on who I want there with Booker BEFORE the election. And fast.

[BOSSHOG]

5. Thanks for the vigilance New Jersey Dems

I lived in Philly way back when. My grandpa would take me by train to Atlantic City at least once a summer in the early 60s. Had a great time.

[Jose Garcia]

6. Are you suggesting that the Biden Justice Department timed this

to hurt NJ Democrats?

[haele]

7. No. Menendez has been under suspicion a long time.

This is probably normal timing due to the threads apparently linking to foreign entities, which takes a long time to untangle and gather enough actual evidence to convict.

8. No - but the GOP

Will use it against school board candidates in this state.

We are holding the line - and Menendez needs to get out of the way. Be loyal to the state party - and realize he's a liability.

[JustAnotherGen]

3. No

Her district was gerrymandered for her. The 7th lost.

Malinowski is free - at least ask him.

Next choice - Felicia Hopson - Director of Burlington County Board of Commissioners.

Lets do this - let this former slave state send two black Senators to Washington.

Tom has serious experience and gravitas.

Felicia had to fight bottom up for everything . . . she's every woman of color in NJ. And - that's who votes in Newark.

[Celerity]

11. Malinowski was in No Labels' Problem Solvers Caucus. Hard pass on more of them in the Senate.

[JustAnotherGen]

13. I know Tom

He's a refugee from Poland.

Pro ACA

Pro Ukraine

Fought like hell to get the SALT Cap lifted or put back to where it was when the IRS was formed.

When children were being stolen from their parents at the border, he came to our protest, spoke at it, and never took his aim off of the Trump Admin.

Doesn't pal around with White Supremacists like Kean the Younger.

Currently leading the charge for inclusive education in New Jersey - hyper focused on my county.

Voted to Impeach Trump.

Ensured set asides for infrastructure in Hunterdon County.

BLM Activist

Green energy, environmental focused.


********

Who are you suggesting we approach? Who is the perfect Senate Appointment in NJ.

The socialist spectrum of Democrats will not ever win. AOC wouldn't have made it out of a County Convention (we have those here) in NJ.

We have a deep bench - but Fulop already has my support for Governor if Booker isn't going to run.

My *vote* was counted last night and will be counted again in a few hours -

No snark here - deadly serious. Who do you think can win state wide in 2025?

Who am I missing?

My second choice is Felicia Hopson. She's fantastic!

I would love for this former Slave State to send two black Senators to DC. Tom and Felicia are both the real deal.

Remember - this is all happening weeks before our state wide elections. NJ politics are normally ignored by America - so there's not a lot of visibility into our *crunch time*.

We have GOT to keep our majorities -so current Senators running are off the table.

My outlier? Bonnie Watson Coleman - but that gives up our incumbent advantage next year. She's loved in her District.

15. Check out

Janice Kovach -

Just got off a quick call with a state party rep. She's a very loyal Democratic Party member.

[lapucelle]

17. Tom Malinowski is a libertarian-leaning progressive, just like John Fetterman.

However, Malinowski's record is more to the left than Fetterman's.



Tom Malinowski is a Libertarian-Leaning Progressive

[JustAnotherGen]

20. Yep!

[RandySF]

18. She was already laying the groundwork for governor.

[JustAnotherGen]

21. Senator

Fulop would be nearly impossible to beat in the Primary.

[Celerity]

12. She called on (rightly so) Menendez to resign.

Link to tweet

[JustAnotherGen]

14. She's been planning to run

She's constantly harassing the 7th District to attend her fundraisers and give her money. She wants the line.

Her district was gerrymandered and the 7th was sacrificed to a guy who pals around with white supremacists.

Malinowski would have won without the redistricting *assist*.

She needs to keep her butt in the seat she whined to the redistricting committee to keep. Whined. Like a spoiled brat.

[Celerity]

16. Wow, harsh on Sherrill, m8. I think she would make a great Senator.

[JustAnotherGen]

19. But its the reality

It is EXACTLY how it went down.

You are being pretty harsh towards a man who has been in my home, stood with me at rallies for immigrant children, and is currently funding school board candidates who will fight back against The New Jersey Project and Mom' For Liberty in NJ. Several have infiltrated our County School Boards.

No one is better at this than the former Human Rights Watch guy.

Twice that campaign has asked me for money in the past three months - they've seen my donations to Malinowski.

Twice I've asked them to update her platform to include the Maternal Health Crisis of black American women, and hammer Voting Rights.

You don't get the nomination vote in Newark and the Camden area - unless you clearly take this stance.

Andy Kim and Tom Malinowski get it.
