1. We need Sherrill and Gottheimer in the House

I've met and spoken with them all. Mayor Baraka was the most surprising. I was tied between him and Spiller with Fulop in the mix somewhere. Then I caught wind that two people I despise in the Hunterdon County Dem Committee have been promised a place in his Admin and it dropped to Mayor Baraka and former Mayor Spiller.

Then Mayor Baraka beat Miller/Trump/Noem's rap - with dignity and his held head high. He's the one.

Looking at this from a Committee Member and now also alocal elected official - and how we leveraged FEAR to flip our Borough from entirely red to entirely blue, our 16th District wins, getting votes for Murphy to put him in place twice . . .

Fear will matter in the GE. Who is best positioned to protect us from Trump and xyz evil things he's doing to rank and file New Jersey citizens?

I can make strong arguments door knocking for Baraka. He's the only one I *feel* like I can campaign for with passion.
