It’s unacceptable that Republicans in Washington are pushing forward with plans to cut Medicaid. Children, families, and seniors in our state will be hurt.

With thousands across New Jersey feeling the strain of the NJ Transit rail strike, I urge both parties to work together in reaching a fair agreement—one that puts our fare payers and riders first.

Armed Forces Day is a time to honor the dedication, sacrifice, and service of all who wear the uniform to protect our freedoms. To all who serve, and their families, we thank you. #ArmedForcesDay

Cancer care and research save lives. Proud to celebrate the opening of NJ’s first freestanding cancer hospital—the Jack and Sheryl Morris Cancer Center. A game-changer for patients, families, and the future of medicine.

My thoughts are with President Biden and his family following news of his cancer diagnosis. Tish and I are wishing him comfort, strength, and a full recovery.

I’m relieved that NJ Transit and the engineers’ union have come to an agreement and that train service will resume on Tuesday. I thank both sides for returning to the table, working through their differences, and putting riders first.

Congratulations to Dr. William F. Tate IV on being named the next president of Rutgers University. As we look ahead, I offer my sincere thanks to outgoing president Dr. Jonathan Holloway for his steady hand and service through so many pivotal moments.

Today the House passed a bill that guts health care coverage and SNAP to fund tax breaks for the ultra-wealthy. We will keep fighting to protect the people this bill leaves behind because New Jersey families deserve better than to be sold out in the middle of the night.

Today the General Assembly advanced several affordability bills—from utility assistance to increasing housing supply to helping people save for retirement. Because these aren’t abstract problems. They’re kitchen table conversations happening every night across New Jersey.

Great to be welcomed by the New Jersey Chamber of Commerce for a conversation on how we’re keeping our state affordable and competitive. Our investments in infrastructure, education, and workforce development helps support our businesses, enabling them to grow and thrive.

Recently, I had the opportunity to speak at the Woodbridge Senior Summit about New Jersey's historic investments in property tax relief—including the new PAS-1 application that makes it easier to apply for StayNJ, ANCHOR, and Senior Freeze benefits!

As Memorial Day approaches, we reflect on those who gave everything and reaffirm our support for the living heroes in our midst. I was honored to join the Borough of Carteret in recognizing the sacrifices of our military and their families.

Today we honor Memorial Day by remembering the courageous heroes who laid down their lives so that others might live free. We thank all service members for their sacrifice and for defending the values that define our nation. God bless our fallen heroes, and God bless America.

Wonderful discussion with Sustainable Jersey about how we’re tackling food insecurity and climate change in the Legislature—and how local leaders are key to making that progress real in communities across New Jersey. Sustainable Jersey

Last week, Speaker Craig J. Coughlin honored the Community Food Bank of New Jersey (Community FoodBank of New Jersey) during the Assembly’s voting session, celebrating 50 years of service, compassion, and impact. Here's to a half-century of fighting hunger—and the volunteers and staff who make it possible.

Big thanks to everyone who joined us in Carteret this past week where we helped residents apply for ANCHOR, Senior Freeze, and Stay NJ through the new PAS-1 application. If you haven’t yet, make sure to submit your application for property tax relief!
