This year, New Jersey politics have come into the national spotlight after Rep. Andy Kim , who is running to unseat Sen. Bob Menendez ,. The county line kept powerful New Jersey politicians in office for decades, giving candidates placed on the line up to a 38-point advantage over their opponents. “Never has it been more clear that New Jersey residents want to change our state’s toxic politics, and the best way to make that happen is to support qualified, diverse candidates with organization and money,” Fulop said.
“‘Abolish the line’ is just the first step. Changing the culture in NJ means accountability. As part of our campaign for governor, we will be supporting good government candidates up and down the ballot in every corner of NJ. We will provide the $$, the support, and the volunteers to help candidates break down barriers,” Fulop said in aHe said details about how candidates will be screened and selected will be made public soon.
