Amy Kennedy wins NJ primary to face GOP's Van Drew
« on: July 08, 2020, 08:28:10 pm »
Former teacher and mental health advocate Amy Kennedy won the Democratic primary in New Jersey on Tuesday, setting her up to go head-to-head against Democrat-turned-Republican Rep. Jefferson Van Drew in November.

Kennedy was leading with 54.7 percent of the vote after 30 percent of precincts had reported, prevailing over her closest rival, political science professor Brigid Callahan Harrison, who received 31.8 percent, according to The Associated Press.

Van Drew, previously a dentist, has emerged as a top target for Democrats after he left the party last year and opposed President Trump's impeachment.

Amy Kennedy is related to the Kennedy clan. She’s married to Patrick Kennedy.

Edit: this is the one congressional race to watch in November for NJ.

Patrick Kennedy's handwritten police statement regarding his accident in Portsmouth, RI where he entered the oncoming lane in order to cut ahead of another car waiting to turn left into a CVS pharmacy when he struck an oncoming car head on.  Despite his complete inability to write a legible sentence, the Congressman was not charged with DUI.

If a political party does not have its foundation in the determination to advance a cause that is right and that is moral, then it is not a political party; it is merely a conspiracy to seize power.

-Dwight Eisenhower-


"The [U.S.] Constitution is a limitation on the government, not on private individuals ... it does not prescribe the conduct of private individuals, only the conduct of the government ... it is not a charter for government power, but a charter of the citizen's protection against the government."
