Winner Losers
BOB HUGIN STEVE SWEENEY
 The first-time candidate wins Republican organization endorsements in all 21 counties in his bid for the U.S. Senate.  The Senate President caves on his own tax plan: “I’m re-evaluating my whole position on this,” he told NJ101.5.
KEITH DAVIS MORRIS GOP
 The Atlantic County Republican Chairman didn’t take sides in the race for Congress, but he ran a tight ship that makes him look effective statewide.   When a country club in Morris County is rejecting a Republican luncheon, it might be a sign of the times.
JOHN CURRIE JOHN RUSSO
 The Democratic State Chairman and Passaic County Democratic Chairman joins the invaluable and jeweled Passaic County Board of Social Services.  The Superior Court Judge and former Toms River Mayor is accused of, among other things, asking an alleged rape victim if she kept her legs crossed.
PAT DESMOND BRUCE HARRIS
 The Bayonne activist goes to court pro se and gets a Judge to approve a local referendum that might bar out of towners from serving as the city business administrator.  The Chatham Borough Mayor was supposed to be serving on the New Jersey Supreme Court, but instead got fired as general counsel of the NJ Turnpike Authority.
BELLA BHIMANI ET. AL. TITLE 19
The organizer of the Morristown March for Our Lives  and dozens of other high school students who organized massive events throughout New Jersey to call attention to gun violence in schools.  Without taking a position on their issue, it was an impressive demonstration of grass roots activism. The decision to allow a Paterson mayoral candidate who has an apartment in Paterson and a house and family in Little Falls (where he spends weekends, as if it were the Hamptons or Dutchess County) shows the constant weakness and malleability of New Jersey’s election laws.
