"The first New Jersey Senate debate between Democrats Andy Kim and Tammy Murphy will take place on tonight at 8 PM.

The 90-minute debate is sponsored by the New Jersey Globe, On New Jersey, and the Rebovich Institute of New Jersey Politics at Rider University and will be streamed on the New Jersey Globe, On New Jersey, Facebook Live, X (formerly Twitter), and YouTube...

... The incumbent, Bob Menendez, had been invited to participate in the debate if he announced his candidacy by February 11. He did not respond.

Two other candidates, Patricia Campos-Medina and Lawrence Hamm, did not qualify for the debate. Neither had raised enough money or won at least 10% at last week’s Monmouth County Democratic convention."

1. So far I think that Kim is doing exceptionally well

I am trying not to be biased against Murphy because of her husband.
I just don't think her responses impress me.

Thoughts?

2. SALT Cap

She nailed it. In places like Idaho and Mississippi if you make 90-110K a year you are like . . .really really rich. In NJ the massive transfer of wealth (stealing middle class New Jerseyans State income tax to give it to people making 120K in Mississippi) - is one of the drivers of high COL in NJ.

Kim should have been bringing this up in every single bill/vote since he's been in Congress.

He asked me to find my north star -

Its been shining there all along since 2019.
