News12 interviewed me about Essex County not being eligible for FEMA's aid. Essex was devastating by Hurricane Ida. I am working with the Governor, our Senators and Congressional reps to get Essex included. #EssexCounty#PuttingEssexCountyFirst
New Jersey is the quintessential union state, and we’ll continue to honor the legacy of organized labor by fighting for the wages, benefits, and dignity that working families deserve. #LaborDay
There is potential for heavy rain in parts of New Jersey tomorrow afternoon into tomorrow night. With grounds still saturated from Ida and rivers running high, rain brings the potential for flooding. Please stay safe and never drive through flooded areas.
“We’re still not out of the woods.”
New Jersey Gov. Phil Murphy joins us to discuss recovery efforts in the wake of Ida’s destruction. “Our death toll has climbed to 25 overnight and we have at least six missing across the state,” @GovMurphy says.
