Ad for re-election of governor Murphy, as his R opponent opposes swearing!!!

(118 posts)I’ve only heard jokes about that ad.
Granted I live in South Jersey…this is not an area friendly to Murphy.
Is that ad resonating up north?

(118 posts)People are angry against Murphy.
Like even the rank and file NJEA members.
Our schools had “go back” plans in place that BOE’s had voted on and teachers were prepared for…and they had that rug pulled out from under them.
I’m in a town with an 80+% vaccination rate of anyone above 12…and parents are unhappy.
We walk our kids to schools and they all play together right until the doors open…and then we put their masks on them so they can walk into the buildings.
We have lost a solid chunk of our local businesses. They’re gone forever.
The only time I’ve seen our governor was for a photo shoot right after the tornado…and he stopped by for about an hour…and only went to literally the most wealthy development damaged.
He’s not popular here, and comparing Jack to Trump or throwing out “no cursing” does not cut it.
South Jersey does not like Murphy.
And frankly? I’m not a huge fan either.
This one size fits all governing for this state under his EO’s doesn’t work.
Do like PA when it comes to Covid…region by region, county by county…I’m tired of being punished and having mandates because Newark or whatever can’t get their shit together. My town has, let my kid reap the benefits and be able to see his teacher’s face or them see his.
South Jersey has a legitimate complaint against Murphy.
Let’s see how voter turnout in North Jersey is tomorrow…
