Craig Guy is absolutely unfit to be county executive. Happy Eleana is challenging him!

Craig Guy is a nepotism baby!!

And he doesn’t even live in Hudson County! He and his wife have a house in Hazlet!

Be nice to dismantle the HCDO

so what kinda vote count does that take, and how is she gonna not wind up in the same situation as bing did?

I think the main benefit is that she’s not Running against an incumbent

Without the county line it’s going to be an uphill battle, uninformed voters will just vote down ballot on the main dem line.

LFG

My initial reaction was, if she's one of the people going on anonymously here about Amy DeGise: No way.

I loathe anyone to do with county government here, but the campaign against Amy DeGise has somehow gotten to be even more horrible than Amy DeGise.

But, if Guy is endorsed by Murphy, well... Murphy is even more horrible than the Amy DeGise bashers. That's a whole different level of Liberty State Park-destroying evil.

Amy DeGise redditors are on the same level as "orange man bad"/Marvel/FunkoPop redditors

I think she's been fairly publicly critical of DeGise. I don't know about anonymously.

Hopefully she’ll do an AMA here or something. I hope her campaign can gain traction.

Last thing we need is a progressive liberal.

I don't know too much about her but if anyone wants actually change people need to actually get out and vote or expect the same results. As a whole we need more people willing to challenge the current career politicians. Our "system" has been in place for decades and nothing has inherently changed.

So while I don't what policies she stands on it's good to see a relatively new face. We need more.

We have enough of those in the board of education.

What kind of mind thinks going easy on Amy Degise is a winning strategy in the race to replace her corrupt father?

Yikes

Yeah. Who the hell voted for Rob Menendez? The same people will presumably be turning out in droves for another machine politician.

Le redditors: "take my downvote good sir!"

Isn't this person one of the folks who ran on eliminating the county line & modernizing Hudson county elections? I'm trying to recall, and googling that is a blur

Yes; which probably means she won’t get the county line

/u/podkayne3000 didn't say the thing for which you are criticizing him or her. That user stated that his or her view is that the DeGise critics are bad and he or she doesn't want to support them. No statement about what the best strategy is, just a totally reasonable statement about personal political preferences.

Likewise! I had never heard of Craig Guy before a few months ago when he was “blessed” to succeed DeGise and popped up in a fundraiser ad. It didn’t take long to dig up bits of his colorful history in local politics.

I think that Amy DeGise is awful and have my own reasons for loathing the HCDO. But you’re not especially appealing, either.

Thank you for your valuable input.

Did I touch a nerve with the Marvel and FunkoPop references?

forget county line, Craig has every mayor, state and congressional endorsements locked up from minute 0...do you expect Kearny or Union City to vote for a JC activist or the guy their mayor endorsed?

I've been following eleana for a little while and I'm excited to evangelize for her, but 'uphill' is almost understating the situation

Realistically must voters are clueless as to who endorsed who. They will just see the names down ballot and vote. That’s the power of the line. Same with menendez last time instant endorsements and ready to roll. Hudson is a one party county and the primaries are pre selected, so voting isn’t as effective as it should be.

No. I don't understand the references. But the fact that you're responding to my comment with insults about what kind of person I am is an example, in my mind, about why you're not appealing.

Some Amy DeGise opponents on r/JerseyCity post interesting information about her driving record and housing arrangements. I enjoy reading that kind of post.

Other people post a stream of meme posts and other attempts at humor implying that she's the worst person on Earth. If people post a few of those, fine. Certainly, other Redditors have a right to post things like that; not every post on Reddit has to be one I like.

But, after a certain point, the stream of hostile, not-very-funny attempts at humor get old. The question becomes less about why Amy DeGise is still in office and more about the motives of the people obsessed with her.

Again: You have a right be obsessively hostile toward Amy DeGise, as long as you're obeying subreddit rules, Reddit rules and antistalking laws.

But exercising that right too often could backfire and make Amy DeGise start to look like a victim.
