Over the past five days, I’ve loved sharing my incredible experience on Discovery’s Rebuilding Atlantic City trip. Now, as we all return to our desks and daily routines, Atlantic City seems worlds away. In our offices today, however, stories are shared over and over again, and it’s clear #ourimpact will continue to grow from Atlantic City. I’ve included coverage from local news organizations below, and you can visit our Facebook album for a gallery of images from the week. We hope you’ll continue to share our experiences in your own communities and help us ensure all New Jersey families are able to return to their restored homes soon. Thank you for joining us on this amazing journey!

Day Three: Rebuilding Atlantic City

Homeowners Richard and Richard, Jr. in their restored home Is it really over? We just wrapped up day three of Rebuilding Atlantic City yesterday, and I’m still in disbelief that so much has been accomplished in just three days. While each home started at different points – without a floor, without walls, without insulation – great progress was made in each one. More importantly, however, an impact was made both for the families we worked with and within ourselves. Today, my team (Team Elizabeth!) met our homeowner for the first time, and within seconds, we knew all of our sore muscles, sweat and frustration was more than worth the sacrifice. Elizabeth shared with us her story: she has lived in her same home since 1967, and when the storm hit, she evacuated with her three cats. When she returned, little but a structure was left. With insurance funds, Elizabeth hired a contractor to help rebuild her home, but just after he started work, he left town, leaving her with a nearly demolished home and little savings. Her son was able to begin the rebuilding process, and we continued his work throughout the past three days. Today, when Elizabeth visited, her deep gratitude and hope brought us all to tears. “You’ve given me hope for mankind and our future,” she told us. In seeing her home for the first time, Elizabeth’s face lit up as she shared her dreams for a pale yellow living room and a small cat door out back. While she kept expressi ...

Matthysse Blasts Peterson, Wins by Third Round Stoppage in Atlantic City

What a night of fights in Atlantic City! In our main event Lucas Matthysse (34-2, 32 KO) absolutely blitzed IBF junior welterweight champion Lamont Peterson (31-2-1, 16 KO), dropping him three times, forcing referee Steve Smoger to halt the bout in the third round. Peterson began the fight well, working behind a stiff jab, but was unable to land anything that would keep his power punching opponent at bay. In the second round Matthysse connected with a left hand that dropped Peterson and from there the rout was on. With the win Matthysse sets himself up for a shot at unified junior welterweight champion Danny Garcia in the fall. In the opening contest, IBF welterweight champion Devon Alexander (26-1, 14 KO) outclassed and dominated late substitute Lee Purdy of England winning via TKO at the end of the seventh round. From the opening bell it was clear Alexander was the quicker, more polished fighter, and he peppered his opponent with power shots in close right up until the stoppage. At the end of round seven Purdy 's corner had seen enough and called a halt to the bout. Read more Boxing news on BleacherReport.com ...

Late Nights in Atlantic City: Buono Confirms Her Pick for Chair - Jason O'Donnell

Why Jason O'Donnell? Well, I'll tell you why Jason O'Donnell. Jason is energetic, young, committed. Jason used to be a field person. [snip] Jason will do anything, will go to any lengths, to do what is right for the Democratic Party. He will unite the Democratic Party, along with Chairman Currie, myself and all of you - from north, to south, east to west. - Buono, announcing her choice for DSC chair You can call it the political equivalent of the Friday night news dump, the late-night confirmation of Assemblyman Jason O'Donnell as the pick for state Democratic chair by the woman not every leading Democrat thought even had the right to set party direction by getting her choice. It's tradition that the presumptive nominee gets to make this choice; it matters for solidarity, for agreed-on allocation of resources, for speaking as a unified voice behind the standard-bearer. Making this a year not to honor that tradition - when a woman is at the top of the ticket - would have left the state Dems with an awful optics situation (particularly after this) that might have angered the Democrats' bedrock constituency, women. It absolutely would have riled me. As the buzz built behind O'Donnell, Christie loyalists in the party began issuing stink bombs in the press. Buono campaign chair Asw Bonnie Watson Coleman floated O'Donnell's name a week ago, followed by a string of oh-no-she-didn't sound bites from po ...

Days after winning the local election in Jersey City, Mayor-elect Steve Fulop could be seen at Bally's at the annual conference of Democrats. His appearance turned heads in part because Fulop has yet to issue an endorsement for governor. He cautioned against reading too much into his presence in AC. "I am a Democrat and had a couple of meetings related to the state budget and impact on Jersey City," said the mayor-elect. "I am not getting involved in the governor's race for some time because I am focused on Jersey City," he added. ...
