As of now, two Democrats are considered contenders for nomination to become New Jersey’s Governor in the 2017 election.

This was a big week in New Jersey for Democratic gubernatorial politics.

Bickering by New Jersey Democrats seeking the 2017 gubernatorial nomination has officially started.

Well over 100 Dems took part in Sunday’s Sussex/Warren Democratic picnic at Sand Bar Park in Hackettstown.  Jersey City Mayor Steve Fulop also took part in the event.

Visitor traffic at the SCDC booth at the Sussex County Farm and Horse Show has been wonderful. As a result of this year’s presidential campaign, visitors on the whole have been especially friendly, which bodes well for November’s election.

Here’s an eye opener by WNYC’s Matt Katz about how “non-politician” Donald Trump works both sides of the political aisle in New Jersey.

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.

All five acknowledged aspirants to the Democratic nomination for Governor of New Jersey took part in last weekend’s Monmouth County Democratic convention.

This week, possible candidates in the 2017 election for Governor showed up in force at the New Jersey League of Municipalities conference in Atlantic City.
