Truck Driver Defeats Career Political Hack

New Jersey Senator Elect Ed Durr

I love, love, love this story. A truck driver with zero political experience has just defeated the president of the New Jersey Senate. That in itself is the best news to come out of Tuesday’s election. And the cherry on top? He spent just $153 on his campaign!!! I always figured that if things got bad enough, the low information voters would be forced to wake up and actually pay attention instead of mindlessly voting the way big tech and the media tells them to. This is proof positive that it can be done. The machinery of the political class can be defeated. And money can’t always buy an office. There is still hope.

Update

Oops. Sounds like all the reports claiming he only spent $153 on his campaign are wrong. He only spent $153 on his primary campaign. Sounds like he actually spent about $5,000 on his general campaign. Still chump change for a political campaign, though.
