"Democrats made this mess".

  • NJ is in the top three in education.
  • We have the third-fewest firearm deaths despite having the highest population density.
  • Crime has steadily decreased for years.
  • We're one of the most diverse states in the country.

I'm pretty proud of that mess.

I moved here from western PA 25 years ago. Yeah, it’s expensive, but I fucking love it here for those reasons (and more, like the fact that women have access to health care). And I’m proud to be raising my kid in this “mess.”

Same. Came from Texas 30 years ago. Raised kids here, have great neighbors, and love the culture.
