Democratic Primary for House

I saw a sign this morning for John Flora. It looks like he is positioning himself to the left of Donald Payne. The major standout that I noticed is he is in support of medicare-for-all.

Other than that, he hits most of the major Democratic policy points. I don't know what his fundraising situation is at this point, but one of his big challenges is going to be the negative other white man trying to unseat an African American elected official in this District.

He has another, self-inflicted challenge:

Whatever his intent, he didn't express himself in a way to avoid getting this reaction.


I don't know anything about Flora but it would be great to see this seat as something other than an inherited fiefdom.  The guy probably doesn't have much of a chance, in 20 years, this seat will undoubtedly be held by Donald Payne III or IV.

Sorry, I will look into the issue but I will not read an article by that moron from 101.5.

 Fair enough.

There's this: https://newjerseyglobe.com/congress/flora-defends-jersey-city-boe-members-anti-semitic-facebook-post/

As I said, whatever he meant he wasn't "politic" in the way he said it.
