So it’s totally unrelated to the world of media, but I’m happy to announce that tonight (or last night, as it were), my mom was announced as the winner of the mayoral race of my hometown of Matawan, New Jersey. In a town where I think there has been a Republican mayor for about 46 years, and has never elected a woman (though the currently serving mayor, Bea Duffy, is a woman) to hold the position, that’s a pretty big deal. Congrats, mom!
Congrats to my mom!

I’m joining the others who will no longer be getting her TV news from CNN. I relied on Aaron Brown while living on the West coast, and I relied on him after moving here last year. He asked the-questions-that-SHOULD-be-asked. Anderson Cooper is eye candy, but Mr. Brown is the real deal.

Hey Tom:
Congratulations to your mother — and to the town of Matawan. I read a story that analyzed her against her opponent, and I have to say that your mom’s platform was fantastic. I hope she has a successful run, for the sake of all the residents of your home town.
Cheers — Roger D.
