A lot was done to get the landslide win for New Jersey Governor race. One that really has not been mentioned enough is the grassroots organizing that has been going on everyday since Nov. 2024. We wiped the tears from our faces and kept on going, adding more people as we kept going.

Thought this was a good read. My takeaways: ➡️ A lot of 2024 Trump voters stayed home - highlighting his dependence on infrequent voters ➡️ Dem turnout was huge, but not solely responsible for the gains ➡️ The Trump-to-Dem flips really moved the needle www.nytimes.com/2025/11/06/u...

Hudson County had 32 early voting locations this past June primary - the most out of any county in the state. However, the distribution of these sites was far from equal, with most locations concentration in the north part of the county.
