Sue Altman is a fraud, Save Jerseyans, so her campaign is necessarily a reflection of her long con.
The latest head-scratcher from the NJ-07 Democrat nominee’s bizarre, sloppy electoral effort: an endorsement video starring an allegedly “independent voter” and businesswoman whose business appears to be located in… South Carolina? It seemed strange to me, too, when some Save Jersey followers on X flagged the issue for me after I had shared the Altman video (and quipped that there’s no such thing as an independent voter with blue hair).
Here’s the actual short:
Helen is a small business owner and an independent voter!

“Hear more about Helen and why she’s voting to #FlipNJ7, protect reproductive freedom, and elect a new generation of leaders to shake up Washington,” the campaign urges.
It’s not worth spending much time on the substance of the video because, well, there isn’t much. Abortion, she’s a woman, abortion, women are better than men at governing, blah blah blah. Cookie cutter far-Left drivel.
I don’t know where Taverna currently lives – the video is vague, perhaps deliberately – but someone named Helen Taverna did donate to Altman this cycle using a Somerset County, New Jersey address according to an FEC report. Meanwhile, the arguably less official LinkedIn suggests Helen is based in Bluffton, South Carolina:
The website for Taverna’s company (Helen Taverna Designs, which she mentions in the Altman for NJ-07 video), advertises “handmade jewelry in South Carolina.”
So who is Helen? A snowbird? Someone who used to live here but recently decided to move away, as many New Jerseyans tired of taxes and politicians like Sue Altman have done before? The ad doesn’t explain.
Perhaps more to the point: why do I care what someone with blue hair who sells jewelry in South Carolina thinks about a House race in New Jersey? Why should you? Why should a voter in Central Jersey?
You’ll have to ask Sue Altman.
