It was great to stop by and spend some time with the team at Garden State Equality yesterday. For years, they have been a leading voice for opportunity, helping ensure that every person in New Jersey is treated with the respect they deserve.

Hoy es el aniversario del Día D, cuando miles de soldados aliados desembarcaron en Normandía y cambiaron la historia.
Recordamos el inmenso valor de los que sirvieron, rendimos homenaje a quienes dieron su vida y reafirmamos nuestra gratitud por la libertad que nos garantizaron.

Today marks the anniversary of D-Day, when thousands of Allied troops landed on the beaches of Normandy changing history.
We remember the immense courage of those who served, honor those who made the ultimate sacrifice & reaffirm our gratitude for the freedoms they helped secure.

From working parents & people with disabilities to patients facing transportation barriers, telehealth has become essential to accessing care. By ensuring providers are reimbursed fairly for virtual visits, this bill helps preserve a healthcare option that patients rely on.

[NJ Assembly Democrats @njassemblydems]

"For many people, telehealth is the difference between getting care or going without it."

Yesterday, Asw. Sweeney spoke before the Assembly Financial Institutions and Insurance Committee in support of A4357, legislation that would permanently extend telehealth pay parity in NJ.

I’m grateful to everyone who joined us at Zapallar Restaurant. Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts, concerns, and ideas with me.Meeting with residents and listening to our community is one of the most rewarding parts of serving North Bergen and the 33rd District

💳 The bill would also strengthen transparency by requiring businesses that impose credit card surcharges to clearly disclose that those fees cannot be applied to cash or debit card payments

[NJ Assembly Democrats @njassemblydems]

Today, the Assembly Consumer Affairs Committee advanced legislation sponsored by Asw. Speight and Asm. Sampson IV that would prohibit sellers from charging surcharges on debit card and gift card purchases.

...well: workforce shortages, long wait times, navigating a difficult to understand system & offers recommendations to improve access, coordination, & accountability.
As Asw. Carter noted, improving children's mental health will require sustained collaboration & accountability.

[NJ Assembly Democrats @njassemblydems]

Today, @ASWCarter joined advocates, providers & state leaders to discuss a new report from the NJ Health Care Quality Institute examining NJ's children's mental health system and the barriers families face when seeking care.
The report highlights challenges many families know...

[NJ Assembly Democrats @njassemblydems]

Today, the Assembly Financial Institutions & Insurance Committee held discussions on A4357, sponsored by Asw. Donlon, Asw. Speight & Asw. Sweeney that would permanently extend telehealth reimbursement parity, helping ensure virtual care remains an option for patients & providers.

[NJ Assembly Democrats @njassemblydems]

Today, the Assembly Telecom & Utilities Committee advanced bills that put NJ ratepayers first: strengthening our electric grid, increasing transparency around demand, expanding solar opportunities & ensuring costs of major new energy users aren't unfairly shifted to NJ residents.

[Balvir Singh 🍎 @BalvirSinghNJ]

Credit goes to the students & teachers of Bordentown Regional High School and Burlington City High School, who brought this idea to my attention and advocated for it. Their commitment to honoring Bruce Morlack’s legacy and promoting pedestrian safety helped make this possible.🙌🏽

[Anthony Angelozzi @angelozzi_ant]

I was honored to join Assemblywoman Murphy in recognizing Chris, an athlete competing in the 2026 Special Olympics USA Games in Minnesota this summer. It was a privilege to wish him well and send him off as he prepares to represent our community on this exciting journey.

[Cody Miller @Cody_D_Miller]

A big win for South Jersey and the 4th District. Proud to join community leaders for Cooper University Health Care’s announcement of a new $300 million medical campus in Gloucester Township.

This investment will bring more outpatient and specialty care closer to where people live and work while expanding appointment options outside traditional work hours, making it easier for working families to access care without taking time off from work. That’s what meeting people where they are looks like.

[Speaker Craig J. Coughlin @SpeakerCoughlin]

Thank you to AARP New Jersey for hosting today's telephone town hall and to the more than 4,500 New Jerseyans who took the time to join the conversation.

Asm. @BalvirSinghNJ spoke before the Transportation Committee in support of his legislation, AJR150, to designate September 21 as “NJ Pedestrian Crosswalk Safety Day” in honor of Bruce Morlack, a beloved Burlington City crossing guard who lost his life protecting students.

[NJ Assembly Democrats @njassemblydems]

New Jersey has long been a backdrop for some of the most iconic moments in film and television. 🎬 The Assembly recently advanced A4883, sponsored by @BillMoen, which would establish a New Jersey Film Trail highlighting filming locations across the state.

[NJ Assembly Democrats @njassemblydems]

The legislation would create new tools to help communities better prepare for severe weather, including real-time flood dashboards, smart stormwater sensors, hyperlocal emergency text alerts & advanced mapping technology to identify vulnerable infrastructure & flood-prone areas.

[NJ Assembly Democrats @njassemblydems]

This week, the Assembly Science, Innovation and Technology Committee advanced a bill package sponsored by Assemblyman Chris Tully focused on modernizing how New Jersey predicts, tracks, and responds to flood risks. https://t.co/b1u3Gwga1F
