Mikie Sherrill's Leads Now, But This Issue Could Flip NJ's Race For Governor: New Poll Congresswoman Mikie Sherrill is out in front as New Jersey's next governor. At least for now.

If the election were held today, 51% of voters say they’d back Sherrill, while 31% say they’d go with Ciattarelli, the poll found. The rest are either looking elsewhere (5%) or still on the fence (13%). Factor in voters who are “leaning” one way or the other, and Sherrill stretches her lead to 56% to Ciattarelli’s 35%. Still,…

$4.9M Cresskill Estate Sells In One Weekend After Sitting On Market For Years A luxury estate in Cresskill that had sat on and off the market for years has finally sold—and all it took was one weekend, thanks to a bold reset by two local real estate agents.

Hackensack Police Beg For Bronco In Sad Sarah McLachlan Video — And It's Gold A customized Ford Bronco was up for grabs. All it would take was a video and enough Instagram likes to win. So the Hackensack Police Department did what any self-respecting agency would do. They broke out the sad music, the slow pans, and a fleet of deeply exhausted vehicles — and filmed a masterpiece.

A Sarah McLachlan-inspired video set to “Angel,” complete with mournful stares, sad cruisers, and officers just trying to start their cars without crying (cut to Chief Michael Antista playing with a matchbox Ford Bronco). The HPD is competing in a statewide contest hosted by Pa…
