Alec Baldwin Raises $5.1 Million for New Jersey Democrats

Source: AP

Collingswood, N.J. (AP) -- Actor and "Saturday Night Live's" resident President Donald Trump impersonator Alec Baldwin has helped raise $5.1 million for Democrats in New Jersey.

Philly.com reports (http://bit.ly/2rwOjpN ) about 1,000 people attended the Thursday night event in Collingswood.

According to the fundraiser's organizers — a political action committee called General Majority PAC — the amount of money raised is believed to be the most ever raised by either major party at one event in the state's history.

Tricia Mueller, the organization's treasurer, says the fundraiser puts New Jersey Democrats in a good position to win races across the state. All 120 seats of the New Jersey Legislature are up for grabs in November, along with the governorship currently held by Republican Gov. Chris Christie.

Need to make sure Jersey can get a Dem governor. I noticed (since Philly is the media market for South Jersey) that Crispie has been suddenly "active" and "governing" after doing little but bullying and attacking people, and running for higher office the last 7 years. He has now suddenly discovered that the IT functions of various NJ state departments are individualized (decentralized) and is now demanding they be centralized (not realizing that you have to avoid the single point of failure syndrome when it comes to IT if you go that route).
