Cryan to Dems: ‘The National Election Should Serve as NJ Self-reflection’
The New Jersey election results showed a deterioration of support for the Democratic Party, as voter apathy assailed the candidacy of Kamala Harris, Democratic nominee for President, who prevailed in this blue state over convicted felon Republican Donald J. Trump by a mere five points.
Said veteran state Senator Joe Cryan (D-20), a former state Democratic Party chairman, “The national election should serve as a self-reflection of New Jersey, where legislatively we need to focus on bills that impact everyday people’s lives for the better. As for the party, we need to end the haves and have nots mentality with action and results for the people. It’s time to walk the walk, not just talk the talk.”
Cryan oversees a district that in part combines urban Elizabeth and Union Twp., in a Democratic-run county that on Election Day saw less than robust turnout of voters at 60%, who went 61-37% for Harris.
A supporter of his party and his fellow party leaders, Cryan at the same time sees the election results as an opportunity to urgently prioritize funding equality for all school children and consolidation of public sector services and resources to better serve hurting taxpayers.
The Essex County-born lawmaker with strong ties to public sector labor and law enforcement (he is a former Union County Sheriff and the son of the late Essex County Sheriff John F. Cryan), Cryan is a possible future senate president whose name routinely circles among leaders looking to put together a party deal for 2025. Whether or not that position materializes for him as part of the post-Phil Murphy era, Cryan represents at the very least a coveted endorsement in the developing Democratic Primary for governor, especially as U.S. Rep. Mikie Sherrill and U.S. Rep. Josh Gottheimer jockey aggressively for position on the eve of their respective campaign kickoffs. Candidates courting him will likely encounter someone eager to hear the deep details of their ideas about how precisely they can make New Jersey more affordable and livable, restore trust in government, and defeat a Trump-reanimated Republican Party.
Murphy already stated he will double down on failed democrat policies by shielded illegal immigrants (not migrants) from deportation. He will join other governors from the same party with their resist crap and serve their own interests not the citizens of their states.
Democrats will make a HUGE mistake if they nominate one of the two ” D.C.” candidates. Those two are the nice shiny objects the Party always gets attracted to around election time. Neither has any clue about fiscal responsibility.
Lame-Duck Murphy wants to double-down on ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION, just like the fat pig Massachusetts Governor. He also will probably push to have the windmills put up offshore. Once again, we see that the Democrats don’t give a damn about New Jersey taxpayers. If Murphy fights Trump on keeping the “sanctuary” state and protecting ILLEGALS, Trump has already said he’ll Federal funding to those opposition states–because it’s a NATIONAL SECURITY ISSUE!!!!
Also, Murphy is starting his usual stink about the offshore windmills. Trump has already said he’s going to look into offshore windmills and most probably kill the program if it doesn’t provide energy or profits for the taxpayers.
Leave it to the Democrats to screw NJ taxpayers–AGAIN!!!!–and cause our taxes to go up exponentially because they’re going to throw a tantrum about ILLEGALS and offshore wind farms.
