Plans for the weekend? NJ celebrates St. Patrick’s Day early

St. Patrick's Day is here! Well, sort of. It's actually next Friday but that's not stopping New Jersyans from celebrating this weekend.

As you know, my schedule has been crazy lately with multiple events every day. You also know that I love it. Superspreading truth to our largest in-the-state audience and leading the fastest-growing grassroots organization is the right way to get our state back on the right track.

The focus is empowering parents, first responders, teachers, nurses, and patients is a message that also needs an in-person component.

I've committed my time after the show to visit as many small businesses as possible to spread the word that help is on the way.

Check out my public schedule HERE if you want to meet me on the trail at one of NJ's great small business establishments! In the meantime, celebrate the coming holiday this weekend at one of these great spots!
