Here’s the close of Jesse’s 1988 DNC speech “keep hope alive.” The challenge for politicians on the left remains unsparing critique that doesn’t descend into cynicism. There’s a reason that churched, black political figures navigate this more seamlessly than others
I am pleased to announce my nomination of Shirley Emehelu to be New Jersey’s next Comptroller. Shirley brings a wealth of experience to the role, from her time at the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of New Jersey and the New Jersey Office of the Attorney General. Shirley will be a key partner in delivering on my goal of bringing transparency and accountability to Trenton.
I know Shirley well from our time together at the US Attorney's office and I know she will bring a focus on public service, integrity, and fairness to the Comptroller’s office to ensure that government is working for you.
Welcome, Shirley!
Honored to be a member of Governor-Elect @MikieSherrill Interdisciplinary Advisory TaskForce to help shape meaningful and impactful policy. https://t.co/84v8L2Gb47
@BishopRTJackson led with immeasurable character and moral clarity. He was a gift to the world. May God bless our beloved Zion, the @amechurch, the Jackson family, and all who knew him.
Mourning the loss of @BishopRTJackson, a leader of the beloved community and a stalwart for justice - wherever it could be made manifest. His tenure in Georgia transformed the lives of millions. He was a good and faithful servant. God bless Regina, Seth and the Jackson family.
NJ's Acting Comptroller comes out against a proposal from Senate Dems he says would weaken @MikieSherrill's ability to "investigate corruption and protect tax dollars."
Sherrill has not yet commented on the proposal.
It would be flat wrong to have the incredible election turnout of New Jersey voters standing against Trump’s lawlessness and then immediately take steps in our state to reduce accountability and transparency.
I strongly oppose any efforts to weaken the Comptroller and Attorney General positions along with other watchdog institutions that are standing against corruption and conflicts of interest that raises our costs and hurt our families and communities.
President Trump is appealing an order to feed hungry Americans. He would rather fight with the courts than help Americans who can't afford food.
It’s absolutely unconscionable.

New Jersey, it is the honor of my life to earn your trust to become this great state’s 57th Governor.
I promise to listen, lead with courage, and never forget who I serve.
The incumbents in our district refuse to provide voters with an opportunity to compare candidates in a public debate.
We can do better. Vote by November 4th.
I've never backed down from a bully and I never will.
Donald Trump is ripping away health care from millions, driving up costs, and giving corporate CEOs massive tax cuts. And Susan Collins is helping him.
My life’s work has prepared me for this fight—and I'm ready to win.
This is nothing more than a continuation of the president’s desperate weaponization of our justice system.
I am not fearful — I am fearless.
We will fight these baseless charges aggressively, and my office will continue to fiercely protect New Yorkers and their rights.
A great example of the effectiveness of the ARRIVE Together program that we started in NJ. Alternative crisis response programs save lives and are transforming public safety.
Successful deployment in Union County of the Arrive Together crisis response program we started at the AG’s Office. Sounds like great work by all the responders!
I am excited to return to my alma mater this month to celebrate the incoming class as this year’s New Student Convocation speaker! @WestminsterMO#BlueJays
