The New Jersey Republican Party has a major identity crisis right now. When I talk to fairly apolitical people and ask them what Republicans in the state stand for, they have no clue. It’s not surprising they don’t. Many of the policies that have been pursued are either big talk with little to no action […]

Yup, DeCroce is Officially in Danger After Lyon’s Strong Passaic Finish.

LD39 and LD40 are rightly getting a lot of attention lately, Save Jerseyans, and veteran Republican politico/former Councilman John McCann‘s major upset win last night in Passaic County merits further discussion.

February 15, 2017 Posted with permission from The Dan Cirucci Blog — So here’s what happened. A friend asked me if I was a social conservative. And I have to admit that it sort of stumped me for a moment. To be sure, I don’t even like the term “social conservative.” It’s too limiting and […]
