There’s been a concluding update in the saga that’s been a race between soon-to-be-former state Senate President Stephen Sweeney. Over a week after the election, Sweeney, a Democrat, has conceded to Edward Durr, a truck driver who spent a little over $2,300 in the past year. While the Associated Press reported last Thursday that the race was called for Durr, Sweeney, as Leah covered , refused to concede. He finally did so at a press conference in Trenton on Wednesday, as Brent Johnson with NJ.com reported.
According to a copy of the full speech posted by David Wildstein with New Jersey Globe, Sweeney began his concession speech by acknowledging that “the results of Tuesday’s election are in, all votes have been fairly counted, and I, of course, accept the results.” He went on to say “I want to congratulate Mr. Durr and wish him the best of luck.”
In addition to listing his accomplishments from his time in office, Sen. Sweeney also indicated he’ll still be involved in politics, though he did not specify exactly how that will be, or any future plans he may have. Johnson noted that Sweeney is considered a gubernatorial contender for 2025. New Jersey governors are limited to two terms.
“I plan to keep speaking to those concerns. I plan to remain fully involved in public affairs in New Jersey,” he said. “I will be speaking from a different podium, but I promise you: I will be just as loud and just as forceful a voice for change,” Sweeney went on to share towards the close of his speech.
Johnson referred to Sweeney’s loss as a “stunning election loss.” Sweeney had, in fact, been the “the longest-serving legislative leader in New Jersey history,” Wildstein pointed out. Had Sweeney won his race against Durr, he was expected to be chosen once again as Senate president, for what would have been his seventh term.
Decision Desk HQ on Friday tweeted an Elections-Daily article by Harrison Lavelle, ” A Giant Toppled: Who is Edward Durr? ” Lavelle began by writing that “Tuesday was rife with surprises, but none was more shocking than […]

Yes, We Need Your Help
I hate being “that guy” who asks people to donate because I think our conservative news network is so crucial, but here I am…
When I left my cushy corporate job in 2017, I did so knowing that my family would have to make sacrifices. But I couldn’t continue to watch the nation slip into oblivion and was inspired by President Trump’s willingness to fight the good fight even at his own personal expense. What I didn’t realize then is that conservative media would be so heavily attacked, canceled, and defunded that the sacrifices would be extreme.
Many in this nation are struggling right now even though we weren’t struggling just a few years ago. I’m not alone. But I wake up every morning and operate the sites we’ve been able to build because there’s really no other choice. I refuse to be beholden to Big Tech like so many other conservative news outlets, which is why you won’t see Google ads here. With that said, it’s often challenging to pay the bills and it’s even harder to expand so we can get the America First message out to a wider audience.
The economic downturn has forced me to make a plea for help. Between cancel culture, lockdowns, and diminishing ad revenue, we need financial assistance in order to continue to spread the truth. We ask all who have the means, please donate through our Giving Fuel. Your generosity is what keeps these sites running and allows us to expand our reach so the truth can get to the masses. We’ve had great success in growing but we know we can do more with your assistance.
We currently operate:
- NOQ Report
- Conservative Playlist
- Uncanceled News
- Based Underground
- Five other conservative news sites
I would even be willing to entertain investments and partnerships at this stage. I’ve turned them down in the past because editorial purity is extremely important. I’ll turn them down again if anyone wants us to start supporting RINOs or avoid “taboo” topics like voter fraud, vaccines, or transgender supremacy. But I’d talk to fellow America First patriots who want to help any (or all) of our 10 news sites. Hit me up at jdrucker (at) substack (dot) com if you’re interested.
For those who have the means and just want to help keep the mission of spreading a conservative, Christian message to the nation, please consider a generous donation.
