No matter left or right NJ likes two things

Yes and they are smoking the weed while they vote. NJ likes voting in incumbents that continue to raise taxes and do nothing for the state residents and they wonder why it is the worst state for businesses in the country and one of the highest taxed group of citizens in the country. We have good schools but that is it and is why so many are leaving and will continue to leave our state.
Disgraceful results in NJ. All three ballot questions passed and every incumbent won. This state might have the most sheep of any US state. Sad.
Some of these incumbents are racking up 70% of the vote in congressional districts. That's absurd. We need term limits more than ever.

Well at least legal weed will bring in a couple hundred million of new revenue to the state
But you're right. Murphy is not making any of the difficult decisions that need to be made in how to control the costs here.
Shu09 what gives with you? Republican congressional districts were part of being every incumbent won...NJ has far more reg Dems than reg republicans, very interesting electorate dynamic considering NJ has had rep govs in the span of democrat elected senators for going on 30 plus years...i found NC to be fascinating yesterday. DEM gov won, Rep senator won but not landslide and Trump going to take state as well
I'm not a Republican or a Democrat. I am unaffiliated. I always cast my vote to vote out incumbents unless they are term limited already, so I will always vote against incumbent senators and house members if they are on the ballot for reelection.
So an effective politician can be in your congressional district and actually bring reform and bills that become laws to table but your logic you would vote against them in 2 novembers?
As it stands now, yes. Or six Novembers in the case of the senate. I have outlined my proposal for term lengths and limits on this site before.
But I don't believe an effective politician is one who is always passing bills just for the sake of passing bills. More laws on the books, more regulation is often not good for the nation. An effective politician in a constitutional republic is significantly influenced by, and votes in line with, the will of his or her constituents, not special interests/lobbyists/political parties.
