AGP Executive Report
Last update: 6 hours agoElection Eve: Gov. Mikie Sherrill joined Sens. Cory Booker and Andy Kim to rally for Rebecca Bennett in the closely watched 7th District race against Rep. Tom Kean Jr. Sherrill also campaigned for Zack Mullock, who is challenging Rep. Jeff Van Drew. Democrats lead New Jersey in early voting, but Van Drew still has a strong pool of high-propensity voters to turn out. Voting Rights: A Bergen County registration error erased a Mercer County voter’s record before a judge restored it; separately, a Cumberland County woman who moved counties was denied a ballot after a judge found she hadn’t shown she transferred her registration by the deadline. State-Federal Clash: Sherrill warned New Jersey port operators not to accept Russian diesel, saying imports authorized by the Trump administration violate federal law and could bring civil or criminal penalties. Election Oversight: A federal judge declined to block Trump administration threats against election officials, citing the plaintiffs’ lack of standing; another judge has separately barred those threats in a case brought by election officials’ unions. Permitting: The state DEP says it has cut its remedial-action permit backlog by 25% and is expanding expedited reviews to environmental restoration projects.
