The incumbent (Phil Murphy) is term limited.

I read the article and watched the video, but it told me nothing. I have family in New Jersey (among other states).

but that tends to be in the spring around May. So I'm guessing they are all getting ready for when the election calendar is finally published (with the deadlines for any petitions, etc).

Since there are 2 who have announced who are in Congress right now, that gives a heads-up on dealing with any replacements for those seats!

I have family in Jersey as well (including an aunt, cousins, and one of my nieces - all up in North Jersey)!

And my family was in Northern New Jersey as well. My uncle's family was in Upper Saddle River, we used to visit when we were kids. My aunt moved to Ridgewood, one cousin is in Allendale and another is in Franklin Lakes now.

Both New Jersey and Virginia have elections for governor and other state officials such as the legislatures.

NJ finances are going south when the last of the Covid fed money is used up - maybe it already has been used up.

Then we follow up with proposed small grants for new house purchases and tax reductions and payments to seniors (I'm a senior).

Retired public employee pensions were supposed to have cost of living adjustments. There hasn't been one for 14 years. The lower end of those pensions are almost worthless and people depended on them when they planned for retirement. Both parties are responsible for that debacle, starting with Christie Whitman and Sweeney with the pension loan that was supposed to be paid back but never was.

would be toast. Too much "machine" baggage at this point.

to God's eyeballs.
