Is it time for an independent candidate in NJ?

You know that for years I've talked about how only a GOP or Democratic candidate can actually win a statewide election in New Jersey. That said, people are increasingly sick of the lack of new ideas and pitiful leadership from both parties.

In New Jersey, there are more Democrats than Republicans, about 2 to 1. But there are many more unaffiliated voters than Democrats. So maybe it is time for an independent voice to be heard in a general election.

Either way, I was interested in a candidate who was brought to my attention last week. David Winkler is a former U.S. Marine and Army veteran who served in both Iraq and Afghanistan. He's also a leading voice on "Black Conservative Talk and Hardline Politics."

He joined me on the show to ask for your support in his uphill battle to have an impact on the 2021 gubernatorial race.

From his Biography:
