MEET Mikie Sherrill (for Congress) in Hoboken next Tuesday!

A shout-out to all you good Hoboken Dems who believe its a moral imperative to take back the House from the Trumpublicans... 

Mikie Sherrill from New Jersey's 11th District is a superbly qualified Dem Candidate running for Congress in a 'soft' Republican district... she can do this people.  She can flip that seat.  But not without our help. 

That's why Mikie is coming to Hoboken next Tuesday night; to collect some generous donations (hint, hint) and talk to us about what we want her to do in Congress once she's elected.

Mikie's Republican opponent was Trump-succubus (incumbent) Rodney Frelinghuysen-- until he withdrew last January.  Like many House Republicans who've thrown in the towel, Frelinghuysen's record of polishing Trump's hiney put his re-election chances in doubt. Sad. 

So please, people. Come out for Mikie on Tuesday like we did for Andy Kim. 

Kim and Sherrill are two courageous newbie politicians who cannot stand how the Trumpublicans have enabled the Putin-luvin' Orange Caligula to wreck our democratic institutions of government, alienate our closest allies, take a dump on NATO, swap spit with Vlad,  impose  idiotic trade tariffs that hurt our farmers, businesses and consumers, and worst of all, have forgotten what "checks and balances" mean.   

By the way, the Antique Loft is a beautiful venue.  Imagine getting sloppy drunk with the sweeping Manhattan panorama behind you!   

Oh, GA kids about the "sloppy drunk" part.  Maybe. Anyway, please read about Mikie and for sure you will want to meet this fantastic Democrat (and help her flip a red seat)!
