Dear Every Elected Democrat in New Jersey: Please Watch

Maybe you've seen this already, or read the pullout quote half your constituency has already posted on their facebook.

But maybe you don't realize that what Elizabeth Warren said at a garden-variety campaign house party in Andover, Massachusetts is an infusion of right-thinking lifeblood that can be helpful to you as you speak to voters in your own campaigns, and as you consider how to battle the regressive policies of a GOP-controlled U.S. House of Representatives or a Governor with one eye on the White House.

This is progressive economics clearly and cleanly spoken. It's what we sent you to Washington, and to Trenton, for. Some of you should see this, some of you need to. I hope it inspires you as much as it did me.

No. (4.00 / 1)

But you can count on us not to tell on you. ;-)

It's not a particularly snappy signature, but here's what I think we need in the next NJ Democratic State Chair.

Oh, and Jeff - (4.00 / 1)

It will sound just right coming out of your mouth, so I hope you ~~get~~ make that opportunity. ;-)

making the opportunity (0.00 / 0)

Assuming for a moment that the Democrats running in LD35 win in November and hold the seats for the next decade, the best chance that Jeff has to run for higher (not municipal or county-level) office is if his town of Hawthorne is removed from Steve Rothman's district and placed into Scott Garrett's district.

Or even better, an open seat could be created in most of Passaic County and half of Bergen County if Bill Pascrell, Jr. and Rothman could be placed into the same district, consisting of Pascrell's Paterson and the southern half of Bergen County, and Rodney Frelinghuysen and Garrett could be placed in the same district, consisting of Morris, Sussex, and Warren Counties.

Either way, if there is one thing that progressives in NJ could and should lobby the members of the congressional redistricting commission to do is to put Hawthorne in a district that is currently represented by a Republican, giving him the opportunity to run in 2012 or at some other point in the future.
