I dropped this in a RandySF post in GD - but thought I would start an OP on this.
February 6 - 7:04 PM
I support a ceasefire. Tammy Murphy does not.
February 7 - 11:59 AM
I agree with Bernie on Palestine.
February 9 - 6:59 AM
I support a ceasefire. Andy Kim does not. (Edited for accuracy - this is the strategy)
February 9 - 1:59 PM.
I support a ceasefire. Tammy Murphy does not.
Her play? She grew up in El Salvador. She remembers the war, being a displaced child.
Tammy Murphy and Andy Kim do not.
One nephew in law is the child of Colombian immigrants. One daughter in law is the child of Honduran immigrants.
This is playing well with them - though due to my niece almost dying before my grandnephew/god son was born in 2021- my nephew in law is strong with Tammy Murphy. His wife is African American - and so he's with 'her' and he should be.
I don't know how this is going to end up - but we are missing the mark if we aren't paying attentionto Campos Medina's hooks into urban areas and how her message hits young people.
Regardless - in a General Election - white suburban moms in New Jersey will always go back to the GOP.
So, it ultimately comes down to who can convince Mom's and Aunties of minorities who ARE influencing Z's and Millennials in the Presidential Race - to compromise at Sunday dinner.

(33,565 posts)Full disclosure - I'm on board with Murphy - but this is well done. I knocked on doors for Sadaf - she was my assemblywoman. Sadaf experienced horrible racism and threats during her two-year term. That's why she didn't run again. It's par for the course outside of Newark for women of color elected offices to experience that. Hell - I've had 4 -and I was only sworn into office on January 3rd. Campos Medina - Want to bet that racism/threats come up in her Primary campaign?
Polls don't register her - because they aren't connecting with enough young millenials, y's and z's.
Hi *******,
Im Sadaf Jaffer, former Assemblywoman for New Jerseys 16th legislative district.
Last week, I proudly endorsed Patricia Campos-Medina for Senate and heres why
Ive been involved in New Jersey politics for a while, and one thing is very clear: New Jersey families are looking for new faces and new voices to champion the causes they care about most raising wages and standing up for workers, cutting child care costs, keeping our families safe, and everything in between.
Patricia IS that new voice.
At a time when global issues demand our attention, Patricia Campos-Medina stands out for her principled stance on the war in Gaza. She advocates for a diplomatic and humanitarian approach, emphasizing the need for a ceasefire and a commitment to peaceful resolutions.
Furthermore, Patricia is committed to advancing the representation of women of color in New Jersey politics.
As the first woman and the first Latina to potentially represent New Jersey in the Senate in 2024, she is breaking barriers and paving the way for a more inclusive and diverse political landscape.
We are at a pivotal moment here in New Jersey and across the country, presenting an opportunity to choose new leadership and new voices that prioritize democratic values over special interests and establishment agendas.
Thats why I am endorsing Patricia Campos-Medina she embodies the change we need.
She has my unwavering support, and I think shes the exact leader New Jersey needs.
Will you join me in supporting Patricias campaign today, so we can forge a path toward a more equitable and prosperous New Jersey for all?

Thank you,

(13,398 posts)Murphy was a Republican, until she married the governor. She has no political experience.
A powerful memory of Kim was after January 6. He took to the rotunda and helped clean the debris off the floor that was left by the peaceful tourists.

(33,565 posts)Will be voting for her at the convention in two weeks. My driver is 100% my niece.
She FIRST hand made an impact - and thus far . . . she's being treated with respect and dignity with this second one - due in May.
I think back to the Black Lives Matters protests a few years ago - in Hunterdon it was lead by young white kids. That's all fine and well - but there is critical state of emergency for black women and their families in America. It's always been there - but Tammy has the audacity to speak about it.
It's a winning issue with the party base.
