Wall Street rating agency S&P just increased the State’s credit rating despite the recently enacted budget leaving the next Governor an almost $4 billion budget hole. That’s almost as stupid as when S&P had to pay $1.5 billion for their role in wrecking the global economy.

⚡ NJ families are drowning in soaring electric bills, crushing taxes, and an unbearable cost of living — yet Democrats keep doubling down on their reckless agenda. The Garden State has had enough. 💸

NJ's energy shortage continues to be mislabeled as a “crisis.” But it’s really a crisis of CONSEQUENCE. ⚡ Energy supply shortages and rising electric bills are the consequence of horrible Democrat policies—and NJ Democrats want to double down and force this insanity into law.

⚠️ NJ Democrats recklessly tacked $500 MILLION in last-minute spending onto the state budget 💸—all while our state is drowning under: 🏠 The highest property taxes in the nation 📈 One of the highest costs of living 🏫 A failed school funding formula ⚡ Soaring electric bills

Today, Gov. Murphy gave his BPU more power to “investigate” NJ’s energy crisis—the same agency that rubberstamped Democrats’ failed policies... ⚡ We've offered real solutions for affordable, reliable energy. It's time for NJ to change course. @JoePennacchio

⚡ Gov. Murphy just gave his BPU more power to “investigate” NJ’s energy crisis—the same agency that rubber-stamped the failed policies that caused it. Earlier, Leader @TonyBucco proposed expanding the investigation to hold the real culprits accountable, but Dems voted it down🚨

New Jerseyans know the truth: 5 years ago NJ exported energy, now we’re importing expensive power, resulting in soaring electric bills. 🔌 Dems shut down natural gas plants ⚡ Mandated full electrification by 2035 💸 Made us reliant on out-of-state supply Period. Full stop.

Today, @govmurphy signed a do-nothing bill into law to blame PJM for problems created by New Jersey Democrats and their failed energy policies. This law won't make energy more affordable, won't cut costs, and won't reduce a single tax or fee on your electric bill.

⚡ NJ Democrats just gave themselves more power to “investigate” the grid — but PJM, the regional operator, already told us the truth: our soaring electric bills are driven by their costly decarbonization policies. Less supply = higher prices. It’s that simple. 💸

.@SenatorTesta (R-1) championed the largest manufacturing investment in state history—and this week, it was signed into law. ⚙️ The Next NJ Manufacturing Program, a $500M tax credit initiative, will spark innovation and create high-quality careers right here in the Garden State.

💡 For months, PJM, the regional grid operator, has made it clear: Democrats’ radical energy policies and failed, costly gamble on offshore wind are driving the skyrocketing energy prices hitting every New Jersey family and business. 🔗 Read PJM's letter: pjm.com/-/media/DotCom…

💡 Democrats’ “solution” to our crushing electric bills? Hand the investigation to the BPU — the very agency that helped create this mess. A complete sham. We proposing a commonsense amendment for transparency and relief for ratepayers, but Democrats blocked it. Sen. Holly Schepisi

💡 NJ Democrats prioritized ideology over practicality—shutting down reliable power and forcing mandates without a plan.⚡ For years, Republicans have proposed commonsense policy for an affordable and diverse energy portfolio. 🔗 Read Sen. Space's op-ed: nj.com/opinion/2025/0…

💰 NJ Democrats’ record-breaking budget = tax hikes + $728M in last-minute spending for their districts $728 MILLION! All while New Jerseyans face: 🏠 Highest property taxes in the nation 💸 Skyrocketing cost of living ⚡ Soaring electric bills 📚 Broken school funding formula

While Democrats quietly packed $500M+ in pork into the budget, schools in Toms River & Brick are being forced to cut teachers, slash programs or raise taxes. This budget wasn’t built for families, it was a cash grab for political insiders & it’s shameful senatenj.com/CivicAlerts.as…

NJ’s record budget passed 9 PM on a Friday in June — zero transparency. 💰 Months later, we’re learning about $500M+ in “pork” spending Democrats slipped in for allies, all while hiking taxes on hardworking residents. 💸 @DeclanOScanlon
