The Jersey Bee is canceling our May 29 community forum after sustained efforts by local political interests to interfere with the structure and perception of our independent, non-partisan event. Our 34th District community forum was intended to be a constructive space for Belleville, Nutley, Bloomfield, Glen Ridge, Orange, and East Orange residents to come together, learn, and collaborate on local challenges.

Six Democratic candidates are running for New Jersey governor in the 2025 primary election, scheduled for Jun. 10. The candidates chosen to represent both Democratic and Republican parties will have their name appear on the November general election ballot along with any Independent candidates running. Registered Democratic Party voters outnumber registered Republican or Independent voters by more than 825,000, according to state data from May 2025. And their political views vary more widely.

Six Democrats and five Republicans are running for New Jersey governor in the Jun. 10 primary election. Some of the Democratic candidates have been described as “progressive” or favorable among “left-wing” voters. In April 2025, six self-described progressive groups endorsed Ras Baraka as their candidate of choice for governor. Endorsements came from Rutgers teachers’ unions, New Jersey Working Families Party, New Jersey Citizen Action, and Make the Road Action.
