David Wildstein

Congratulations to @RepLaMonica, who is set to become the first N.J. member of Congress to give birth while in office! newjerseyglobe.com/congress/mcive…

The Republican field: @TeamLebovics @JerseyJustinUSA @TaborforSenate @ActualAlexZ

Mark your calendar: the four Republican U.S. Senate candidates who want to take on Cory Booker will debate on Thursday, May 28 at 8 PM, sponsored by @TheNJGlobe & @RiderUniversity and moderated by @zachblackburn23. newjerseyglobe.com/congress/repub…

If N.J. Democrats are really serious about mid-decade redistricting, they’ll need buy-in from the party’s House incumbents, whose own districts may need to be substantially reshaped. Still early, but most N.J. House Dems I talked to are open to it. newjerseyglobe.com/redistricing/a…

Not only have they AI-generated the mayor, but they've AI'd East Brunswick as well!!

Breaking: The NJ attorney general wants a state appellate court to reinstate a voter fraud indictment against Paterson Councilman Alex Mendez. Two days ago, Mendez came within 3 points of winning election as mayor. newjerseyglobe.com/local/attorney…

@DmadNYsportsfan Actually, it's must redistrict after the census every 10 years, but NJ had new districts in 1982 and 1984, and in 1962, 1966, and 1968.

@wildstein The NJ state Constitution states that re-districting can only happen once after the census every 10 years. So they legally can’t change anything in NJ until after the 2030 census. This is all fear mongering bullshit.

If they redraw the congressional map, New Jersey Democrats are eying a GOP primary between Jeff Van Drew and Chris Smith in 2028 -- and creating a Democratic seat somewhere else. newjerseyglobe.com/congress/n-j-d…

By law, a new pro-Brad Cohen PAC called Voice of the Electorate can’t coordinate with Cohen himself when making its ads. The PAC’s solution: use AI to generate a deepfake Brad Cohen and let *him* do the talking. newjerseyglobe.com/congress/ai-ge…

Drawing Smith and Van Drew together is certainly possible, but more geographically difficult than giving Smith an R vote-sink and putting Van Drew in a Dem-leaning district. Here’s my quick sketch of CDs 1-4 with a combined Smith-Van Drew seat. Not pretty!

A dustup this morning in NJ-7, where the state Democratic Party has suspended @MichaelRothNJ’s VAN access after his campaign published voter data in its red box. Roth campaign says it’s “working in good faith with the state party” to get access back. newjerseyglobe.com/congress/state…

NJ-7 Democratic Primary Congressional Debate x.com/i/broadcasts/1…

When Jimmy Davis was mayor of Bayonne, he directed the firing of Sharon Ashe Nadrowski's sister as deputy county clerk. Now, Ashe Nadrowski can effectively fire her sister's replacement: Davis' wife. newjerseyglobe.com/local/new-bayo…

In New Jersey, many Democratic congressional candidates won't commit to voting for @hakeemjeffries for Speaker if Dems win the House. newjerseyglobe.com/debate/among-d…

Scooplet: The Vaad, a hugely influential coalition of Orthodox Jewish Rabbis in Lakewood and the surrounding communities in Ocean and Monmouth counties, will endorse Dr. Robert Lebovics for the Republican nomination for U.S. Senate.

Mid-decade redistricting in New Jersey: now one step closer (though still many, many steps to go). newjerseyglobe.com/legislature/se…

💵💵💵: @HamawyForNJ has raised $1 million for his NJ-12 campaign, a huge sum for a Democratic primary (especially when combined with his $1 million+ in super PAC support). Pre-primary reports from all candidates will be due on May 21. newjerseyglobe.com/congress/hamaw…

On the one-year anniversary of their fateful visit, the Delaney Hall trio – @RepBonnie, @RepLaMonica, and @RepMenendez – are putting forward a bill to guarantee “immediate” oversight access to detention facilities for members of Congress. newjerseyglobe.com/congress/one-y…
