Assemblyman Jay Webber’s campaign on Tuesday accused Mikie Sherrill of lying in a campaign ad her campaign released the same day that attacked Webber’s record on women’s issues. “Mikie Sherrill is unhinged - showing her progressive-left, true self. Her attacks are filled with lies and distortions, straight out of the DC Democrat playbook,” said campaign spokesperson Ronica Cleary. “These attacks come as no surprise; making things up and trying to
Committee holding action pending response from agencies
New Jersey’s Joint Legislative Committee on Ethical Standards dismissed two complaints filed against Assemblywoman Holly Schepisi at the body’s Tuesday meeting. One complaint accused Schepisi of misusing public funds in a mailer the assemblywoman sends to new constituents in her district.

New Jersey’s Republican legislators aren’t exactly clamoring to get ahold of former Gov. Chris Christie’s new book, “Let Me Finish: Trump, the Kushners, Bannon, New Jersey, and the Power of In-Your-Face Politics.” The book, which is billed as an inside look into the workings of President Donald Trump’s campaign, inner circle and mind, has yet to hit shelves and won’t until January, but legislators don’t seem to be awaiting its

Sen. Gerald Cardinale is doing well following a car accident on Thursday, Assemblyman Bob Auth told the New Jersey Globe. “He's a good friend, he's a great guy, and the district would really lose a valuable asset if something bad had happened, thank god,” Auth said. “I'm knocking on wood right now.” At 84-years-old, Cardinale is the state’s eldest senator, and even relatively-minor injuries could spawn rumors about his health.
