A New GOP Race for Governor
ENGLEWOOD CLIFFS - This town's "Trumpy mayor" wants to be the state's "Trumpy governor."
Mario Kranjac, the mayor of this Bergen County town above the Hudson River, says he's running for governor.
Kranjac said he is running as an America First candidate to finish the job Donald Trump began last fall. By that he means win New Jersey.
Kamala Harris won the state last fall, but her winning margin was surprisingly small, giving hope to Republicans for 2025.
Kranjac says the following in a release:
"Just like President Trump, after decades of success in the private sector, Kranjac felt the call to service. In 2016, he was elected Mayor of Englewood Cliffs as a political outsider, beating the Democrat political machine that had been running the mayor’s office for 42 years. As Mayor, he improved the quality of life in Englewood Cliffs by reinstituting the rule of law, fighting corruption, improving schools, rebuilding public infrastructure, and lowering government spending and taxes."
How about the "Trumpy mayor" designation?
Well, Kranjac says that NJ.com called him that after he "took on Black Lives Matter" and stood up to Phil Murphy's COVID lockdowns.
Of course in the lingo of MAGA, Kranjac refers to the outlet as "Fake News NJ.com."
Whatever he calls himself, Kranjac seems a bit late to the game.
The current four-man field - Jack Ciattarelli, Jon Bramnick, Bill Spadea and Ed Durr - has been at it for months now. And they are set to debate Tuesday night.
Kranjac's campaign was asked about his late entry into the race in an email, but has yet to reply. But he said in his statement that those in the race have not attracted enough support to win.
Thomas, as usual, showing your mental retardation. You don't like what I call you? Then stop hiding behind a phony name, especially that of a slave owner. Have the guts to attach your real name to your opinions, as I do. Otherwise, I will continue to drag your stupid ass every chance I get, because intelligent thought is about 100 points above your moron-level IQ.
Can't remember when Michael Schnackenberg said anything of substance, or even being cogent. All he knows how to do is curse and make stupid, irrational comments.
Hey WNY Voter, Black Lives Matter ("BLM") has been debunked as a Communist front group and a racketeering operation that stole money from their own coffers to buy million dollar homes. They are a money laundering organization. Their credibility has been gone for a long time. So, you played your hand and showed us your true colors--that you're a Communist or Communist sympathizer that doesn't mind your groups to steal people's money for their own self-aggrandizement.
A principled and honest man without a personal agenda, willing to serve. Godspeed, Mr. Kranjac!
Hey Bob, tell us you're a racist without actually saying that you're a racist
Of course all lives matter, Bob, but Kranjac is quoted in this article that he “took on Black Lives Matter.” If you can’t understand why the phrase “Black Lives Matter” was created in the first place, then you’ll never understand, because you don’t want to understand.
This moron should be worrying about his own shit hole town, rather than having delusions of grandeur. Go play in the sandbox, Mario.
Yeah but, yeah but? Waffle House has added a 50 cent surcharge per egg nationwide!
First we need to stop with this color diatribe- his job so for just people not any other different ethnicity specifically - if we keep using color for every situation we only divide-do you want to be seen as a human being or a color?
I truly hope you win your MAGA party’s nomination, Mayor Kranjac. Your clueless, reactionary, positions against people of color show your lack of ethos, as well as true character. Your nomination will ensure a Democratic victory.
