First Anheuser-Busch. Then Exxon. Now Samsung. How many more companies have to leave before Trenton gets the message?

If we want families to afford a home, young professionals to stay, and businesses to invest in NJ, we our our Republican policies that create jobs & lower costs.

[Senator Michael Testa @senatortesta]

The brave men and women of law enforcement, both state and federal, deserve our gratitude for standing their ground to protect peaceful protesters, nearby residents, and public safety in the face of escalating unrest from violent agitators.

Today we celebrated the Leesburg Fire Department’s 100th Anniversary of Service. There was an overwhelming sense of pride & community, celebrating a volunteer fire company that has an exemplary record of service above self.
Thank you to all of the generations who have served.

[Senator Michael Testa @senatortesta]

Thank you to the NJ State Chamber of Commerce for the opportunity to speak to interested members along with Senator Zwicker.

Our lively discussions touched on budget issues and priorities in Trenton in addition to the hot topics throughout the state.

[Senator Michael Testa @senatortesta]

Landmarks like East Point Lighthouse are part of South Jersey’s identity and culture.

That’s why I questioned Acting NJ DEP Commissioner Ed Potosnak on investing in long-term preservation to ensure our historic sites are protected for future generations.

[Senator Michael Testa @senatortesta]

Proud to have joined @NewJerseyDOT Commissioner Jain for this launch at Woodbine Municipal Airport.

The initiative will fly from Sandy Hook to Cape May promoting litter-free beaches, and NJDOT’s investment is helping employ 27 young pilots & three mechanics to make it possible.

[NJDOT @NewJerseyDOT]

Every summer, millions of beachgoers flock to the #JerseyShore. Whether an #NJ resident, out-of-state visitor, or international guest, keeping our roadways, boardwalks and beaches #LitterFree is everyone’s responsibility.

[Senator Michael Testa @senatortesta]

NJ retirees earned the pensions they were promised. COLAs help protect those benefits from rising costs & provide greater financial stability in retirement.
As expenses continue to climb, supporting responsible COLAs means keeping promises to retirees who helped our communities.

[Senator Michael Testa @senatortesta]

This recognition serves as a meaningful way to honor the innumerable sacrifices made by Vietnam Veterans and acknowledge the unseen wounds of their courageous service.

💰 Trenton just found an extra $500 MILLION.

I’m fighting to make sure that money goes to New Jersey's underfunded schools, real tax relief, and critical services—not another end-of-June Democrat spending spree packed with political favors and backroom deals.

@senatortesta for @AlexZdanSenate

THIS is leadership.

[New Jersey Senate Republicans @NJSenateGOP]

NJ has top beaches, restaurants, and attractions, but Trenton Dems are pushing added costs on visitors during major events like the World Cup.
Sen. Testa’s S871 and S3195 strengthen tourism by investing in the businesses & attractions that bring people here—not pricing them out.

[Senator Michael Testa @senatortesta]

This Small Business Week, I’m proud to support the small businesses that keep South Jersey’s communities and economy strong. As co-chair of the Manufacturing Caucus, I’ll keep fighting for pro-business policies that cut red tape and help local employers grow.

[New Jersey Senate Republicans @NJSenateGOP]

💰 Gov. Sherrill's budget gives $94 million to municipalities like Newark and Jersey City after years of self-created fiscal problems, leaving towns across NJ to pay the price.

@SenatorTesta is fighting to ensure state aid is distributed fairly for every town and every taxpayer.

[Senator Michael Testa @senatortesta]

Always great to see the next generation engaging in civic duty.

Last week, I welcomed a 7th grade class from Saint Mary’s Middle School in Vineland to the New Jersey Legislature—experiences like this help build informed, engaged citizens. Come back soon!

[New Jersey Senate Republicans @NJSenateGOP]

Wishing a very Happy Birthday to @SenatorTesta! 🎂

Thank you for always standing up for South Jersey and all of our state’s residents and taxpayers.

[New Jersey Senate Republicans @NJSenateGOP]

While Democrats talk affordability, the numbers say otherwise: $750M in new business taxes plus $600M more from automatic hikes—tolls, NJ Transit fares, payroll, and income taxes.
These policies are driving costs up, and taxpayers are paying the price.

[New Jersey Senate Republicans @NJSenateGOP]

NJ is not a business-friendly state. We are losing our competitive edge as Democratic policies continue to drive opportunity out the door.

Instead of welcoming businesses that create jobs, we are burdened by overregulation, record taxes, and bureaucratic red tape. @SenatorTesta

Public safety should never be jeopardized by politics.

My colleagues across the aisle voted NO on my amendment to require federal notification when convicted violent illegal criminals are released.

NJ families deserve to feel secure. I will always keep fighting for you.
