The Maplewood Democratic Committee has passed two resolutions, calling for increased democracy in Essex County. I am incredibly proud to be part of this organization. (And some personal news—I have recently been elected as its new vice-chair 🙂)

Maplewood Democratic Committee Continues to Lead the Charge for Ballot Reform in New Jersey — We have passed resolutions calling for an office block ballot in Maplewood, and for an Essex County Democratic Convention 🧵 docs.google.com/document/d/14h…

🚨 New Report 🚨 Reforming New Jersey’s tax system in targeted ways would reduce income inequality and provide revenues needed for public investments to make the state more affordable. Read more from @ptrchn1: njpp.org/publications/r…

That said, I wish we had enacted the housing, care, and child tax credit elements in Build Back Better so we would have had concrete cost-of-living benefits to run on. People should reflect on which part of the Democratic Party denied us those agenda items.

Bingo. 🎯 The Ballot Design Committee hearing this week in the NJ Assembly was pure Orwellian! Rather than explore how to modernize elections, they focused on how to limit voter access ... the week before the most consequential election for democracy in U.S. history. 🇺🇲

At the Assembly Select Committee on Ballot Design yesterday, I was taken aback to hear legislators asking about jurisdictions that have done away with primaries, and ways to narrow access to the ballot through raising filing fees or signature requirements. 1/??

Gen-Z is taking an active role in transforming the world they're inheriting. And they're calling on lawmakers to tax the ultra-wealthy and well-connected to help fund climate solutions so all New Jerseyans can look to a brighter — and greener — future. nj.com/opinion/2024/1…

1/3 Why is @starledger doing the bidding of party boss George Norcross? Four opinion pieces that criticize the corruption unit run by the AG, none of which identify the lawyer who is chief critic as a defense attorney on Norcross case.

The US political press suddenly acting like it is passionately concerned about policy as a pretext to bash Kamala Harris is so grotesquely, sneeringly, drippingly bad-faith it makes me want to vomit. What a collection of useless f'ing knobs. American voters deserve better.

@GovMurphy is determined to leave behind a legacy of corruption apparently. N of course there’s no quicker way to prove you don’t know right from wrong than to get in bed w the @CCDems 🤑😡🤮🤑 inquirer.com/politics/new-j…

FUN FACT: Each of us who support Kamala are de facto surrogates for her campaign. So we have to have the talking points at the ready to answer questions or criticism about her or her campaign. So here are a few at the ready: 1) She didn’t pass any great things as VP:

We are joining @ForTheManyNJ & Fair Share America coalition in D.C to share insights on how working class families restored the corporate surtax on wealthy businesses. It’s time for Congress to ensure mega wealthy corporations like Amazon pay their fair share! #TaxFairnessNow

Ugh. My senator, Renee Burgess is on this list. I plan to call her to express my concern.

Let's be crystal clear on one thing here: @SenPresScutari should not be Senate President for another term. He gutted OPRA. He's got a long and shady history. Democrats should do better than Scutari.



Coming to a door near you! (Or maybe your door.)

Maplewood Dems are out and about today, knocking doors in our districts to get out the vote for @andykimnj and @mikiesherrill, and to let young people know how to cast their ballots this November, whether they are at home or away at college.

This is nuts… Seriously reprehensible.

Camden City council votes 4-1 against the wishes of every resident who spoke tonight. The ordinance would pay for unlimited legal fees for current and prior city employees. Residents said this was specifically written for @DanaRedd who has been charged with 13 RICO counts 🧵

Helping the newly employed college grad evaluate his health insurance options. Hubby has a spreadsheet w functions going. What a fucking racket & waste of all of our time, even for good benefits like the ones he has. We need #MedicareforAll & the young people know it!

In this new op-ed, @monarchhousing's Taiisa Kelly explains why NJ's outdated affordable housing regulations — the Uniform Housing Affordability Controls (UHAC) — must be updated to prioritize the needs of low-income &  moderate-income New Jerseyans: northjersey.com/story/opinion/…

NEW: @GovMurphy just published a powerful @Newsweek op-ed on NJ's new affordable housing law. New Jersey's policy — requiring municipalities to allow their fair share of affordable housing — offers a pragmatic, proven model for other states to build upon. newsweek.com/governor-heres…
