South Jersey Progressive Dems greeted @GovMurphy in Mt. Laurel and asked him to veto the OPRA bill. We need transparency and access to public records to have a real, functioning democracy here in NJ. Do the right thing, @GovMurphy!

A friendly reminder to all of New Jersey, many of you never even knew about the line until your favorite #JerseyDems that would be us, did the on the ground work, by running year after year in Camden Co where the rules are obscure and difficult to find. 1.
Told you so. We are already ready for Court tomorrow. Let's go!! This is what a movement looks like. #AbolishTheLine #BanTheBossBallot.

Today's antics from the ccdems have brought attention to the disdain and contempt party leadership has for even elected committee members. Another thing as scandalous as blocking a US Senate candidate's entry to today's convention flew a bit under the radar, but business as. .

The “winner take all, at large format” of party office elections in Camden County shuts new people out of the party and leaves the entire county without the district representation. We’re determined to fix this problem but we need your help. Check it out!

We've been telling you all this for almost a decade. Glad you're all catching on!.
If there was an Autocracy 101 class George Norcross would teach it. At Rutgers-Camden. South Jersey Times Editorial Board: "New Jersey’s whole ballot and endorsement system smells rotten. It smells more rotten in Camden County and the rest of Norcross’ sphere of influence."

The Commissioners in Camden County have an opportunity to use their power to act as though #BlackLivesMatter. Specifically, one of the two most polluting incinerators operates beyond its life expectancy near a residential area in Camden. Cut the contract and close relationship.

The issue we have is that now Sen. Beach will install a replacement for Ms Lampitt in the Assembly without the input of any voices of rank and file Democrats in the County. No special election. No presentation of multiple candidates to the committee. No outreach for interested.

Holding public officials accountable is good, actually.
A press event will be held today at 11:00 a.m. to announce the unsealing of an indictment charging Robert Menendez, U.S. Senator from New Jersey, and his wife, Nadine Menendez, with bribery offenses in connection with their corrupt relationship with three New Jersey businessmen.

I’m thrilled to share that for the second year in a row, there will be no phantom candidates in this year’s Camden County Democratic primary. It’s taken a lot of organizing, a lot of public education, and a vigilant pressure campaign on the @CCDems to make this happen!

What does @GovMurphy’s new rapport w Christie n Norcross mean for progressives? For @delany_kate it’s a chance for progressives to relinquish once n for all the notion of top down change, an idea that was always toxic to the movement, n work a lot smarter.

Yet another example of chicanery from the South Jersey Norcross machine. They won't stop at anything to rig laws to their benefit. Whether it is preventing a grocery store from opening in Camden or writing easily exploitable loopholes into campaign finance legislation.
South Jersey Democrats wrote the loophole into NJ's campaign finance law that a South Jersey Democratic super PAC quickly took advantage of to promote fake candidates while hiding its funding source.
