Mayor Brandon Scott's campaign will debut 4 new ads this week.

In one 60-second radio ad, a self-identified grandmother opens with:

'I’ll be honest, I had my doubts about Brandon Scott.' But he's earned results 'the right way - no scandal and no corruption'

Interesting: The chair of Monmouth County Dems praises federal judge’s ruling ending county line in the June primary. Only other county chair I recall doing this is Morris County Dems.

Both are Dem parties in GOP counties, and tend to be more grassroots vs top down county parties.

“’I was also justice-impacted,’” a reference to this decades-old brush with the law, for which he served no prison time.'

Great story by Brakkton Booker on a wealthy white Senate candidate’s rhetoric on race in the criminal justice system.
