Andy Kim and Curtis Bashaw squared off in their final debate before Election Day. Brent Johnson, of NJ.com and the Star Ledger, joins Walt Kane to break down the week in New Jersey politics.

And she is nothing short of a political legend in New Jersey. State Sen. Loretta Weinberg served in Trenton for more 20 years, rising to the level of Senate majority leader. She was outspoken on issues concerning gender equality. But she was nearly 80 years old when she burst into the national spotlight, leading the investigation into former Gov. Chris Christie and the Bridgegate scandal. She's the subject of a new documentary, "Politics is a Mother, Raising Hell is Part of the Job.”

Weinberg and her daughter, filmmaker Francine Weinberg Graff, joined the show.
