Wow.
https://www.wjhl.com/news/politics/gop-edward...er-sweeney-with-153/ New Jersey’s longtime state Senate president, Democrat Steve Sweeney lost reelection, falling to a Republican newcomer who spent little money and underscoring Democratic woes in the Biden era. Edward Durr, a furniture company truck driver and first-time officeholder, defeated Sweeney in New Jersey’s 3rd Legislative District, according to results tallied Thursday. |
*Correction But this year, Durr defeated him, spending $2,300, according to an Election Law Enforcement Commission document filed online on Thursday. Earlier reports had shown he had spent just $153.31 on his campaign. |
Just watch - NJ Democrats will make up some BS about him not being elected “fairly”. Can’t have an ordinary, truck-driving guy in such a position of responsibility! |
I wonder how much free advertising he got off his lie about spending $153. |
I love this guy.
“I’m just Ed Durr,” he said. “I’m nobody special. I ran for office and I defeated a gentleman who happened to be in office a long time. What I want people to know is, I’m a real person, and that’s the bottom line.” https://www.wsj.com/articles/the-big-new-jers...-sweeney-11636063518 |
It wasn’t a lie, but nice try. That was from his preliminary campaign-finance disclosure. By the end of his campaign, he had spent $2313.70. Mr. Durr lit up social media this week with the detail that his campaign cost just $153, according to preliminary campaign finance disclosures, which showed about half the money was spent at Dunkin’. Amended filings posted late Wednesday show his committee spent $2,313.70—far less than the $1,061,957 that Mr. Sweeney’s committee spent on polls, advertisements, consultants and fliers. https://www.wsj.com/articles/the-big-new-jers...-sweeney-11636063518 |
Um. It’s Republicans who have been screaming and rioting about someone not being elected “fairly.” |
Um. Interesting that you completely ignore all the Democrats here in DCUM-land, insinuating that Youngkin couldn’t *possibly* have won fairly. Delusional. No doubt the same thing will happen with Durr. |
It’s true though. This man is just an uneducated blue collar rube. He has no idea how to represent a constituency. He has no understanding of law. I can virtually guarantee he’s never read “Roberts Rules of Order” and therefore has zero understanding of parliamentary procedures in a legislative body. He’s just a ordinary Joe Simpleton. Exactly the wrong sort of person who should be in politics. The fact that he “won” an election without even mounting a campaign is proof he’s unfit for office. |
Oh noes people are posting on a mommy website? Should they attack the Capitol instead to show that they’re serious? |
In Jersey all the Republicans are the ones complaining about nonexistent “fraud” in Murphy’s victory. |
The elitism of the left is nauseating. Hope to see more people like Mr. Durr run. |
Oh yes of course we need more trash like this making laws. |
And this kind of thing is of course essential to proper representation of constituents |
