Spears filed an A-1 form with the New Jersey Election Law Enforcement Commission (NJ ELEC) back on May 17th indicating he’d run for mayor, as HCV first reported, but today was the first time he decided to put himself out there as a candidate.
“My whole life I’ve always been a hard worker, I’ve done what I had to do to provide to my family. I’ve always done it with integrity and fidelity. This isn’t about the mayor, it’s about the people, it’s a people’s movement: united we are the answer.”

Good Thursday morning!
It’s looking highly unlikely that there will be a bipartisan 9/11-style commission to examine Jan. 6.

This comes as some GOP lawmakers downplay the severity of the riot we all saw happen.
