Scott Pressler, the famously tall and long-haired Republican activist credited with helping Pennsylvania Republicans dramatically dcrease their voter registration gap in 2024, is now pledging to ply his talents for the Garden State in 2025.
New Jersey shocked the political world by posting only a 5-point Harris victory margin last week. No Republican presidential nominee has carried the state since 1988, and President Trump came the closest of any GOP nominee since 1992. In the run-up to Election 2024, New Jersey Republicans saw their voter registration deficit with Democrats shrink from well-over one million to just a hair above 900,000 with very little effort expended by the state GOP establishment.
On Election Day, New Jersey Republicans flipped multiple counties (including heavily-Hispanic and Muslim Passaic County in North Jersey) as well as working class enclaves like Cumberland and Atlantic counties in South Jersey.
Pressler’s organization – earlyvoteaction.com – is credited with helping flip key Pennslyvania counties (notably Bucks) from blue to red.
“I make a commitment right here & now that we will be registering new Republican voters in New Jersey & commit time in 2025 to the gubernatorial election,” Pressler tweeted on X.
