They're on the Trump bandwagon.  Here’s how the editors of the Star-Ledger put it:  “Reps. Rodney Frelinghuysen (R-11th) and Scott Garrett (R-5th) also jumped on board Thursday, pledging their allegiance to a bigoted, misogynistic Islamaphobe.”

On Thursday, May 5, Fifth Congressional District Democratic candidate Josh Gottheimer joined Sussex County Freeholder candidate Michele Van Allen and Warren County Freeholder candidate Carole Cook to meet with CD5 Democrats at the Hampton Diner.

Mayor Steve Fulop is making himself a hero to those of us who abhor boss politics and its results. Let’s hope that he hasn’t committed political suicide by calling out a New Jersey Democratic political boss for his ties to Chris Christie on the Atlantic City bailout and other matters.

Bernie Sanders and Hillary Clinton are starting to hire campaign staff in New Jersey.  For the first time in a long while, New Jersey’s Democratic primary may be a factor in picking a presidential nominee.

Of course, paying hard earned dollars for federal taxes is no fun.  And for Congressman Scott Garrett’s constituents, it’s not only unpleasant, it’s also unfair. We in Sussex County get so little of that tax money back.

Both GOP congressmen representing Sussex County face challengers in the June 7th Republican primary election.
