Democrats started Election Day with a 290,000-vote advantage. Republicans never caught up

Before the polls opened on Election Day, New Jersey Democrats had already built a 290,408-vote advantage over Republicans. That’s not a projection, a poll, or a calculation based on party registration. Those were actual ballots returned by voters, and while nobody knew precisely how they voted, the numbers gave Democrats an enormous head start before the first Election Day voter walked into a polling place.

NJ's best elementary school has lessons for all of us | Opinion

This year, School No. 28 in Paterson earned impressive recognition in U.S. News & World Report ’s 2026–2027 rankings, named the No. 1 public elementary school and No. 2 public middle school in New Jersey. This outstanding achievement reflects the talent, dedication, and hard work of Principal Nancy Castro, the school’s teachers, administrators, educational support professionals, students and families. It is a milestone worth celebrating across the Paterson community and our state. But beyond the rankings and well-deserved applause, there is a larger story worth telling about the children of Paterson. For far too long, conversations about urban education have centered on what our communities lack rather than the extraordinary potential that exists within them. Those challenges cannot and should not be ignored, but neither should they define the limits of what we believe our children can accomplish. Academic excellence does not belong exclusively to affluent communities, prestigious institutions, or particular ZIP codes. Talent exists everywhere. What differs too often is access to opportunity, encouragement, resources and support. School No. 28 has reminded us that Paterson's children are brilliant, capable, and deserving of every opportunity to succeed. Op-ed continues after gallery. This achievement should inspire more than a moment of
