New Jersey halts enforcement of sweeping data-law while fixes are addressed

Gov. Mikie Sherrill’s administration will suspend enforcement of the new consumer data law amid defects, delaying penalties and registration until the legislature fixes issues. The state Office of Consumer Protection will not require data brokers to register until a 2027 registry is ready and will issue guidance on the law’s scope. The measure, which bans selling or licensing “sensitive data” and precise geolocation data, could impact how political campaigns access voter-targeting data, and lawmakers and campaign staff were informed that the voter database will continue uninterrupted for now as fixes are pursued.

1Q fundraising frenzy tightens cash gaps in key Senate contests

A live Politico roundup shows a flurry of fundraising across major races in the first quarter of 2026: Michigan’s Mallory McMorrow leads in-state Senate fundraising, with Abdul El‑Sayed close behind; big hauls also come from James Talarico in Texas, Roy Cooper in North Carolina, Sherrod Brown in Ohio, and Mark Kelly in Arizona, among others. Outside money and cash-on-hand gaps are shaping the field even as Florida ethics probes weigh on Cory Mills and Sheila Cherfilus‑McCormick.

Democrats plot multi-path bid for Senate majority in red-leaning map

Democrats say they have multiple routes to a 2026 Senate majority, touting strong candidates in deep-red states and a campaign message focused on costs and health care. The DSCC memo flags Alaska, Iowa, Maine, North Carolina and Ohio as top pickup opportunities, with robust efforts in Michigan, Georgia and New Hampshire. Primaries in Maine and elsewhere could threaten some races and have sparked pushback from progressives who worry the DSCC is backing establishment candidates. Gillibrand says the map has expanded and Democrats can win by highlighting Trump’s costly policies and maintaining health care protections, while noting potential opportunities in Texas and Mississippi as part of a broader, opportunistic expansion. Overall, Democrats remain hopeful about flipping seats Trump carried while navigating intra-party debates about strategy.

California's 2024 Ballot: Key Measures and Surprises to Watch

California's election night could bring unexpected results due to an unusual year for ballot measures.
