In April 2009, Chris Cillizza of the Washington Post's "The Fix" named Save Jersey one of the nation's top state political blogs.

[2] In the general election, Save Jersey was a relentless critic of former Governor Jon Corzine, lampooning him for his connections to "Operation Bid Rig," the state's notoriously high property taxes, and his relationship with public sector unions, including his romantic involvement with Carla Katz, the then-president of Local 1034 of the Communications Workers of America.

[3] A Facebook exchange between Rooney and the Governor's brother, Todd, in which he disparaged Senator Ted Cruz during the 2016 Republican Presidential Primary drew headlines as Christie campaigned for president.

[5] In October 2018, Save Jersey's reporting led to the 10-day, unpaid suspension of an aide to Governor Phil Murphy after the blog posted screenshots of Velazquez calling Republican leaders "evangelical ***holes" who are "molesters, liars, drunks, racists, heartless, bigots.

During the primary, Save Jersey was the first to report that Republican candidate and Evangelical Pastor Phil Rizzo had made offensive comments about the Catholic Church.
