If you think Establishment Dems are doing a great job, you're going to love Mikie Sherrill Utter contempt for the First Amendment as lead sponsor of TikTok ban. Used to get Elon Musk donations. New Jersey could have done so much better
19thnews@19thnews.org · last yr.Sherrill will take on Republican Jack Ciattarelli, a former state lawmaker and 2021 Republican gubernatorial nominee who has the backing of President Donald Trump.
Whatever the result of the NJ primary (I am seeing some reports already that Sherrill has won) I would like to thank @stevenfulop.bsky.social for running a really positive, inspiring, policy-focused campaign!!
Incredibly proud to be a volunteer on this campaign. NJ has the opportunity to become one of the first states to follow through on the promise of progressive ideas, but machine-backed candidates like @mikiesherrill.bsky.social just mean more if the same @stevenfulop.bsky.social you’re our only hope
Steven Fulop@stevenfulop.bsky.social · last yr.Today, Sherrill going negative on us. First time in the campaign. This only proves our team’s hard work with volunteers have them scared. Here is my response to what she said below. I’ll debate her every day of the week 1-1…. We stand by our response:
Phenomenal write up explaining (maybe) the biggest misconception people have about economics: that building housing in cities leads to higher rents
Eric Allen Conner@eaconner.bsky.social · last yr.I am going to have a goddamn aneurysm with the amount of unsubstantiated and data-free folk economics that people are pushing on housing and real estate markets in the run-up to this year's mayoral election. Empirical economists have shown time and again the following: A 🧵...
This is the first yard sign I have seen in Princeton for the upcoming Democratic gubernatorial primary and it's for @stevenfulop.bsky.social!!
I’m thankful - This was a competitive process that all the candidates screened to get and I’m grateful they chose our campaign. To win this November we need young ppl engaged that sat out last November’s election. newjerseyglobe.com/governor/col...

If nothing else, this shows how little Trump/Republicans/most Americans at this point understand the value of collective global security. They act like the world is a zero-sum, every country for themself competition.

Democrats have been caught defending norms for their own sake. Something is only worth defending if it makes people lives better and traditional NJ democratic politics has failed to do that. I want a fighter in my next Governor @stevenfulop.bsky.social!
Steven Fulop@stevenfulop.bsky.social · 2y agoFrom the debate - democrats need to be fighters. Appointment of the next state Supreme Court judge - a place where we disagreed last night at the debate. I feel strongly that the others were wrong here.
Watching the Democratic Primary debate for Governor of NJ is wild because on the one hand, this is one of the more substantive policy debates. But on the other hand there are 644 people watching
Proud to be a part of this campaign
Steven Fulop@stevenfulop.bsky.social · 2y agoJust finished Saturday morning Fulop For Governor campaign event. Talk about a group willing to come out at 9am on a Saturday to talk about the future of NJ! We’re growing and building something different that doesn’t rely on the political bosses
Democrats for too long have been beholden to the establishment and party leaders who are in charge simply because that’s the way it’s always been. Republicans on the other hand were willing to completely remake their party in the pursuit of power and have done so with great success.
Steven Fulop@stevenfulop.bsky.social · 2y agoFinishing the job. Andy Kim’s lawsuit started the demise of these political bosses in NJ but we never got to see it through bc Tammy Murphy dropped out. This gubernatorial election we will finish the job, beat them, and change NJ permanently. Why? This will come down to a choice election
Candidates like Sherrill and Gottheimer are why “blue state” constituents are always upset with their “blue state” governments. They are high profile local officials propped up by the machine and win general elections because they have a D next to their name
Steven Fulop@stevenfulop.bsky.social · 2y agoThis is Cowardly - Mikie + Josh the same again. If you don’t have the courage to vote then what does that say about courage to lead as Governor. What does it say about willingness to stand up to political bosses to charge NJ? If you can’t vote what does it say about core convictions- cowardly.
There’s something magical about staying up until midnight to watch something happen and it’s amazing that congestion pricing makes that list
Thread on landscape on this issue: Fact #1 - @MikieSherrill has based her campaign on political bosses + I’ve called It out. She is the only candidate that sent statements on her support for block ballots only after statements that mimic the Essex County Boss newjerseyglobe.com/legislature/...

We are running a campaign not beholden to the political machine - we are actually running a campaign to break it. Last night’s meet/greet in Teaneck talking about the future of #NJ is a another good example of what our campaign is about -
