    New Jersey Democrat Senate President Set to Lose to Truck Driver Who Spent $153 on Ca

    New Jersey Democrat Senate President Set to Lose to Truck Driver Who Spent $153 on Campaign

    Richard Moorhead | Nov 3, 2021



    The President of the New Jersey Senate, Democrat Steve Sweeney, appears likely to lose to a bootstrap Republican candidate who spent just over $153 on his campaign. As of Wednesday afternoon, Edward Durr leads Steve Sweeney by 32,134 votes to 30,125, with 98% of the vote total in legislative district 3 counted.



    Edward Durr
    @edwarddurr1

    Hello NJ, I am Edward Durr, the Republican senate candidate for legislative district 3. I'm a father of 3 & grandfather of 6. Life long resident of NJ. Not seeking power or fame, only give the people better representation. Lower taxes! Transparency! @nj1015@1210WPHT@GlouCoGOP

    Local political observers believe it’s likely Durr will hang onto his thin lead, defeating a titan of New Jersey politics.
    Durr is a truck driver and a lifelong resident of southern New Jersey. Mr. Durr has explained he decided to run for the state legislature after being unjustly denied a concealed carry permit by his local government. New Jersey has some of the most draconian gun laws in the country, routinely reserving gun rights for Democrat elected officials and their personal entourage.
    Mr. Durr assailed Sweeney as a career politician in his bare-budget campaign ads.

    “The Senate President has spent 20 years in Trenton,” Durr said in a campaign video. “Higher taxes, increasing debt and the rising cost of living. We deserve better. New Jersey, it’s time for a change.”
    Mr. Durr spent just over $153 on his campaign, between food for volunteers and campaign flyers. In contrast, Sweeney raised $750k in one night from establishment donors in return for favors in the state legislature.
    Durr recounted being surprised at his strong support in the district on election night, with his friends, family and supporters gradually realizing the father of 3 stood a strong chance of outright defeating the establishment New Jersey political insider.
    “He did not fight for the people, and that had to end,” Durr said. “I’m a person who believes in the right to the people. I’m a firm constitutionalist believer and I believe in people’s rights. When I saw how people were being mistreated or ignored, that angered me to say: ‘I’m going to make my voice heard.’”
    In another political shocker, Republican candidate Jack Ciattarelli is locked in a close battle with Democrat Governor Phil Murphy, with 86% of the vote in and Murphy leading by just over 12,000 votes.

    HERE WE GO! Democrat NJ Senate President Refuses To Concede To Republican Truck Driver Who Unseated Him...Claims “12,000 ballots were recently found”


    By Patty McMurray | Nov 4, 2021


    Earlier today, we reported about 58-year-old truck driver Edward Durr, who defeated longtime State Senate President Steve Sweeney. Durr, who only spent $153 on his primary campaign, has just won southern New Jersey’s state Senate race, beating out the longest-serving Senate president in the state’s history.
    Having lived in New Jersey his whole life, Durr started his campaign by introducing himself door-to-door and, as a self-proclaimed “simple man,” he made a campaign video primarily by himself.

    Meet Edward Durr, the Republican truck driver who could oust longtime Senate President Steve Sweeney - with spending just $153 on his campaign.

    When referencing his opponent, Durr said, “He did not fight for the people, and that had to end. I’m a person who believes in the right to the people. I’m a firm constitutionalist believer, and I believe in people’s rights. When I saw how people were being mistreated or ignored, that angered me to say: ‘I’m going to make my voice heard.'”

    After watching the state’s leaders respond to the COVID-19 pandemic and being disappointed in their actions, he decided to take a shot at running for office. In his campaign video, Durr focuses his criticisms on Sweeney’s passive response to the state Governor, Phil Murphy, forcing COVID patients into nursing homes which resulted in over 8,000 senior deaths.




    His campaign video also appeals to all New Jersey families who lost their jobs during the pandemic, pointing out that 1/3 of the state’s small businesses were forced to close down. He also highlights the rate at which residents are leaving the state. The video ends with Durr declaring that it’s time for a change and, as he gets on his motorcycle, tells his viewers “Let’s end single-party rule.”


    Now, Politico is reporting that the defeated NJ State Senate President Steve Sweeney is refusing to concede the race to the truck driver who humiliated him, citing (surprise, surprise) 12,000 ballots that were just found in one NJ county. The name of the county where the 12,000 ballots were “found” has not yet been released.
    “The results from Tuesday’s election continue to come in, for instance, there were 12,000 ballots recently found in one county,” Sweeney said in an email to POLITICO. “While I am currently trailing in the race, we want to make sure every vote is counted. Our voters deserve that, and we will wait for the final results. ”Sweeney, who as Senate president is the state’s second-most-powerful elected official, was down more than 2,000 votes to Durr, a truck driver who says he spent less than $10,000 on the race. Sweeney’s projected loss in South Jersey’s 3rd Legislative District was the most shocking in an election that featured a number of surprises, including Gov. Phil Murphy’s closer-than-expected victory over Republican Jack Ciattarelli.
