People who live outside your city do not get to pick your mayor. Not in New York City. Not in Jersey City. No cuomo. No mcgreevey. No resigned in disgrace comebacks during fascism.

In 2 months, New Jersey has the most consequential election in modern history - our gubernatorial primary. We shouldn’t still be hearing elevator pitches on who makes the best governor- we need to build power in working class neighborhoods! hudsoncountyview.com/op-ed-n-j-de... #KnittyGrittyJC

As we bid a sad farewell to the Jersey Journal, I was honored to be able to speak with journalist Teri West on the state of machine politics and the progressive movement in Hudson County as part of their “Final Words” series: www.nj.com/hudson/2025/...
nj.com
Hudson County’s Democratic machine still reigns. How long will its dynasty last?
Fractures among its members, the end of the “county line” ballot design and continued progressive pushback have threatened the HCDO's stability and strength.

Courtney’s deep-dive into Hudson County’s turnout tells two tales: 1. Our County Party isn’t too keen on turning out new voters. 2. Hudson County’s voter turnout continues to be historically low. Civic engagement and changing the discourse for 2025 will definitely be pivotal, especially in JC.
