7-2-19 in New Jersey

Tom Malinowski is the frosh Democrat representing our own NJ-7 Congressional district.

He strikes as an interesting man and seems nice enough.

Tom Malinowski is in trouble:

Malinowski remains largely unknown to most voters after ousting five-term Rep. Leonard Lance (R-Clinton Township) by 16,200 votes in the 2018 mid-term elections. The new congressman has favorables of 29%-16%, with 54% of voters saying they haven’t heard of him, or still don’t know enough about him to form an opinion.

Nearly six out of ten voters (59%) oppose impeaching President Donald Tru An NRCC polling memo suggests that this puts Malinowski “in a tough spot,” since 57% of Democrats support impeachment.

Malinowski has said that he is prepared to start the impeachment inquiry as a beginning of a process but has not yet reached a conclusion about how he would vote.

Even worse, Malinowski  is being challenged by Tom Kean Jr, senate majority leader, former candidate for the US Senate and son of revered former governor Tom Kean Sr.

When nobody knows who you are, but everyone knows who the other guy is, you're toast.

Measure the drapes, Mr. Kean. Measure the Drapes.

Future Former Congressman Tom Malinowski

Loyal readers will recall our chronicling of last years congressional race here in NJ-07.

Briefly, carpet bagging Washington Democrat Tom Malinowski defeated longtime incumbent Leonard Lance by a thousand votes or so.

We have just learned that next year Malinowski will be challenged by Thomas Kean Jr.

This is yuuuge folks.

Thomas Kean Jr is a member of the state senate and the son of former governor Tom Kean Sr.

Junior has enormous name recognition and will have no problem raising cash.

We can't speak for circumstances and ideas, but so far the GOP has a great candidate.

Malinowski is toast.
