The article from Politico's New Jersey Playbook discusses Newark Mayor Ras Baraka's potential run for governor in 2025, highlighting his appeal to Democrats dissatisfied with the current political landscape. Baraka has been actively engaging with key Democratic figures and has expressed his interest in addressing issues like education, economic development, and social justice. His campaign could tap into the dissatisfaction among Democrats with the current administration, particularly focusing on the need for progressive change. The piece also mentions the political dynamics at play, including the influence of labor unions, the impact of recent political events, and the strategic considerations Baraka must navigate as he contemplates his candidacy. Additionally, it touches on other political news in New Jersey, such as legislative actions and local political maneuvers, providing a broader context for Baraka's potential gubernatorial bid.
