So I put in my vote in the 12th district CD primary.
There are 12 Democratic candidates and it strikes me that mathematically the winning candidate will be chosen with a very low percentage of the votes but each vote will be unusually heavily weighted.
I like most of the candidates, close to all of them, but I chose Princeton professor Sam Wang for a number of reasons I will not share but one that I will share, which was his performance at the debate I attended. He was very thoughtful in the way he answered questions, reflective and analytical. I'm frankly biased toward scientists.
Whoever wins the primary gets my vote in the general election.
There was only one other office on the ballot in which a choice was involved, the Board of County commissioners, where there were three candidates for two positions. Two were incumbents and one was a challenger. I looked all three up on the internet and voted for one incumbent and the challenger who struck me as an impressive woman, Nikia White Barr.
Ms. Barr went to Trenton High school, a problematic school to be frank, was the daughter of teenaged parents, was the first in her family to graduate from college and then went to Harvard Law School. A resume like that catches attention.
