There was just 1 debate. @HathawayForNJ11 was endorsed by many Republicans & campaigned as a moderate who does not always agree with Trump. Many unions and pro-democracy orgs and Dem leaders endorsed @AnaliliaForNJ, a progressive who calls for abolishing ICE

This special election is especially relevant given the balance of power in the House. It's one of 4 open seats at a time when Republicans hold a five-vote margin.

@Kelley05081999 New Jersey doesn't have voter. ID your signature match. Is your ID17-year-olds? Could vote in the primary, but can't vote in this election. And if you have proof that 17-year-olds are voting in this election, I'd be happy to look into it

@colleenodea They are not checking IDs. They are allowing illegals and 17-year-olds to vote. OK this is all legal.🤦‍♀️

Trump's deeply unpopular among NJ residents, according to Rutgers-Eagelton poll, with just 26 percent reporting a favorable impression. Getting into late Chris Christie territory.

Your work really matters, but the value placed on it in the budget is ZERO!?! Guess those stories will go back to being untold. C’mon @GovSherrillNJ, save the Consortium!! The media in NJ has been hit hard enough and we are all less informed as a result.
Governor Mikie Sherrill@GovSherrillNJ

Congratulations to all honorees at the Center for Cooperative Media’s Excellence in Community Media Awards! Ethnic and community media play a vital role in shedding light on untold local stories, serving as a lifeline for their communities. Your work matters – to your communities and to our state.

I had to step in and defend this young reporter from this SLAPP suit. No one should be hauled into court because they filed some OPRA requests for legal invoices, etc.
Ashley Balcerzak@abalcerzak

Cherry Hill’s school district sued journalist Ben Shore and wants to ban him from filing records requests with the district for 1 yr because of his “numerous, repeated and vexatious OPRA requests.” How many requests? 14 in 12 months. via @terrencemcd newjerseymonitor.com/2026/03/27/che…
