It’s a busy time in New Jersey politics these days. Crazy busy.
We’re not just talking about the state’s response to all that’s going on with President Donald Trump’s new administration in Washington. We’re also talking about the massive governor’s race to replace term-limited Democrat Phil Murphy.
We’re talking about the big-time breaking news stories that pop up every week — most recently that the indictment against Democratic powerbroker George Norcross III was dropped.
We’re talking about the fallout that has spilled forth since then.
You can follow all of it every Thursday at noon with “What Makes Jersey Run,” a weekly newsletter on the Garden State’s notorious political world from veteran NJ Advance Media reporter Brent Johnson.
Johnson is an award-winning journalist who has covered state politics for more than a decade for New Jersey’s largest media outlet.
The first newsletter published last week, looking at all the earthquakes that have rattled Jersey politics in the last year — and giving insights about First Lady Tammy Murphy, Norcross, the gubernatorial battle, Gov. Murphy’s new state budget plan, and more. You can read that here.
The next edition — featuring a Q&A with Murphy — publishes Thursday at noon.
The newsletter is exclusive to NJ.com and our loyal subscribers. But it’s OK if you’re not a subscriber. You can receive a few weeks of “What Makes Jersey Run” as a free trial.
