Campaigning at concerts? Brilliant! Handing out flyers at exits reaches voters en masse, boosting name recognition. It's a tool for connection, unlike door-knocking where people hide. #CampaignTips #VoterOutreach #MarketingStrategy

Running for office is a marathon, not a sprint. After an initial run, commitment to helping other candidates and staying visible paves the way for a future campaign. #CampaignLife #PoliticalHustle

EMAIL SENT TODAY:
Dear Asm Moen and Asm Spearman,
You are both family men, and whether inner or outer city, the Bill A2218 will affect families and your neighbors:
In attending the Assembly Health committee hearing for this bill on May 18, I heard this tearful testimony:
“Thank you for protecting the most vulnerable.”
In addition to legal protections for abortion providers, and the doctors who offer services for gender dysphoria, the bill restricts freedom of speech to those who openly disagree with it.
Protecting the most vulnerable—isn’t that the unborn?
The “vulnerable” these activists were referring to are Minors who have opted for sex-change procedures. I agree they are also vulnerable.
NO CHILD should be burdened with a decision that is permanently life-altering.
NJ has the most permissive abortion laws in the country. Minors do not need parental consent and can abort up to 9 months, no gestational limit. As to gender surgeries and puberty blockers, NJ still requires parental consent but mental health care and medication for gender dysphoria are permitted. For both of these groups, New Jersey is an attractive sanctuary.
Per my email to you on May 13, which was my stated testimony on May 14, there are other consequences with this bill below, i.e., the much greater risk of human trafficking.
I urge you to vote NO and take an active stand against it in the Assembly roll call tomorrow. ANY LAW THAT PROTECTS ADULTS OVER THE CHILDREN IN THEIR CARE SHOULD NOT BE CONSIDERED.
Thank you,
Constance Ditzel, Collingswood
LD5 constituent, former Assembly candidate in 2025

The Republican Party faces a significant challenge regarding silence. Viewers on X, Facebook, or any social platform can engage via chat to ask questions or make statements. #Politics #CurrentEvents

Lawmakers and bureaucrats often create rules just for the sake of doing something. This rule change, from the Department of Labor, bypassed the legislature and went straight to bureaucrats after testimony. It's a rule, not a bill or resolution. #Government #Bureaucracy

Justin's campaign strategy of connecting directly with voters could be the deciding factor. While others might not commit to the same level of engagement, his dedication to hearing concerns might push him over the finish line. #Election #Campaign #Politics

Subcontractors bring specialized skills for short-term needs, often working independently and commanding higher rates. They offer flexibility, working for a few months before moving to their next project. #Contracting #GigEconomy #Business

Neither candidate came from political royalty or spent their lives climbing the ladder. They're just regular guys tired of seeing working families squeezed by politicians making excuses. #NJPolitics #RegularGuys

Billions are spent on illegal aliens while NJ residents go without. Getting rid of millions of them could solve the housing crisis. We need to address this issue decisively. #Immigration #NJPolitics #BorderSecurity

How can we keep New Jersey afloat?

Independent contractors like artists, designers, and brokers are left behind. While unions and tradesmen have support, 1.7 million freelancers face uncertainty. Two different segments, treated the same way, need better solutions. #GigEconomy #IndependentContractors

Voters are tired of being ignored and seeing politicians get rich while families struggle. They're demanding better than the status quo. Tonight's victories send a clear message: Americans want efficient, transparent, and timely elections. #ElectionReform #VoterRights

A student powerfully dismantled a claim that 'illegal aliens' should be allowed sanctuary on campus, challenging the accuser to put their money where their mouth is and grant sanctuary instead. #CampusDebate #Immigration

New Jersey families are struggling as the cost of living, property taxes, utility bills, and tolls continue to rise. Those in power claim everything is fine, but voters are realizing common sense isn't extreme – wanting affordability and safety is. #NJPolitics #CostOfLiving

[New Jersey Statehouse Watch @NJStatehouse]

The word 'notwithstanding' is used to bypass laws and budget requirements, like in the 'Stay in New Jersey' program. This allows actions even without legal prerequisites. This loophole needs to be eliminated. #LegalLoopholes #GovernmentTransparency

[New Jersey Statehouse Watch @NJStatehouse]

The First Amendment guarantees the right to 'peacefully assemble.' Violence or causing problems is unconstitutional. Freedom of speech and press does not grant the right to disrupt. #FirstAmendment #ConstitutionalRights

Immigrants who followed the rules and paid their dues are rightfully angered by those who expect special treatment. This country is slowly declining, and people are applauding it. I'm done. #Immigration #Politics #USACondition
