Early Voting is underway in New Jersey. Despite what the naysayers and the pundits say, EVERY vote matters.

I’ve already cast my vote. You should too! Don’t wait until Election Day. You can vote Republican securely in-person right now through November 1st. Let’s get it done! 🇺🇸

[Mike Testa @TestaForNJ]

Democrats in Trenton have truly lost their collective minds. Now they want to BAN chewing gum???

Hold the line!!!

[Mike Testa @TestaForNJ]

@Oldglorycries @DSteinhardtEsq @declanoscanlon @votebergen @NJAsmGerry Always.

[Mike Testa @TestaForNJ]

There are far too many horrific headlines & far too much silence from Trenton Democrats. From an officer seriously injured to an 11-year-old girl sexually assaulted, both at the hands of violent, criminal illegal aliens. These stories demand action.

It’s way past time to END New Jersey’s dangerous sanctuary policies before more people get hurt.

[Mike Testa @TestaForNJ]

Parental rights wins. Always.

A New Jersey school district has agreed to permanently abandon a policy allowing school officials to withhold information about students' gender transitions from their parents, settling a federal lawsuit brought by the Thomas More Society on behalf of Moms for Liberty.

If Andy Kim spent as much time fixing problems here in New Jersey as he does visiting places like Iowa and New Hampshire, we’d all be better off.

New Jersey comes last, even for our own U.S. Senators. We deserve SO much better.

[Andy Kim @AndyKimNJ]

Something special is happening here in Iowa. There’s so much energy and excitement around @turek4iowa and @RobSandIA for the new generation of leadership they’re promising and an end to broken status quo politics that have left Iowa behind.

I’m so excited for the people of this state who get to vote for incredible leaders up and down the ballot this year (and a little jealous we don’t have breakfast pizza in NJ)!

My thoughts and prayers are with Middle Township Police Officer Austin Kapurelos for a full and speedy recovery after he was struck by a drunk driver reportedly in this country illegally.

We are praying for his family, his fellow officers, and everyone standing beside him as he recovers.

Enough is enough. Governor Murphy and Sherrill’s support for sanctuary policies that limit cooperation with federal immigration authorities puts radical politics ahead of public safety and common sense.

Our brave police officers deserve leaders who stand behind them, not policies that stand in the way of enforcing our laws. How many more headlines like this do we need before Trenton does the right thing and puts an END to New Jersey’s sanctuary state status?

Austin deserves justice. It is my hope that the coward responsible is held accountable to the fullest extent of the law.

BREAKING: A new poll shows that 82% of New Jerseyans support voter ID. Almost 3/4 of them support proof of citizenship.

The Governor has indicated she’d sign a voter ID bill. Her party controls both chambers of the legislature. She doesn’t need one Republican vote to get this done. So what is the hold up? The citizens of New Jersey are counting on Trenton to deliver and SECURE our elections!

[Mike Testa @TestaForNJ]

I’m proud to be an Italian American and grateful for the faith, family, and traditions that are such a big part of my life. Today, we celebrate Christopher Columbus and the generations of Italian Americans whose hard work and determination helped build this country.

My hometown of Vineland has deep Italian roots, and I’m proud to see our heritage celebrated and our traditions passed down from one generation to the next.

Happy Columbus Day! Buona Festa! 🇮🇹

Today is a big day. East Point Lighthouse will officially reopen to the public in just one week.

This is one of New Jersey’s true gems, a place that celebrates our fishing heritage, draws visitors to the Bayshore, and connects us to the natural beauty of our coast, from horseshoe crabs to migrating monarchs.

Assemblymen Simonsen and McClellan and I have been fighting for East Point since 2019, working to protect its history and keep its doors open to the public.

Thank you to the County, Commissioner Potosnak, NJDEP, and the countless volunteers and supporters who pushed tirelessly to reopen East Point.

I will never stop fighting for our Bayshore communities and South Jersey.

[Mike Testa @TestaForNJ]

New Jersey is too damn expensive. Making it more affordable shouldn’t be a partisan issue.

I’ll work with anyone to make sure our kids and grandkids can afford a future right here in the Garden State.

[Mike Testa @TestaForNJ]

On July 21, we learned that 6,600 noncitizens had been registered to vote and hundreds had cast ballots. I immediately called for an end to automatic voter registration at MVC offices and renewed my call for voter ID.

Weeks later, the Governor said she would sign a voter ID bill. Yet the legislature still hasn’t brought it up for a vote.

Today, the Governor announced another potential 1,000 registration discrepancies linked to the MVC. The more her administration digs, the more problems it finds.

Enough is enough. We must end automatic voter registration at the MVC. I support the legislation Senators Bucco and Corrado recently introduced to do exactly that. The Senate must also bring the voter ID bill I’ve cosponsored, S-68, up for a vote.

These failures demand swift, decisive action, not more promises of “safeguards.” New Jerseyans are counting on us to secure our elections and restore their confidence. That confidence cannot be restored until we confront these issues head-on.

“Working around the clock…”

At the Division of Taxation…

Yeah, don’t remind us.

[Governor Mikie Sherrill @GovSherrillNJ]

New Jersey has some of the best public servants in the country, and I got to see that firsthand when I stopped by the Division of Taxation to meet the team working hard every day to serve our residents.

With nearly two million households filing for property tax relief programs, they’re focused on making the process simpler and easier to navigate.

Good government starts with listening to the people we serve and finding ways to make things work better for them.

[Mike Testa @TestaForNJ]

This afternoon I joined @Congressman_JVD, the Army Corps of Engineers, NJDEP, & local officials assessing storm damage along our shore.

It is critical that we have all hands on deck to replenish our beaches so our shore communities can weather the winter and enjoy another great tourism season in the real South Jersey. That’s why I’m working tirelessly at the state level to ensure our communities have the resources they need to rebuild.

[Mike Testa @TestaForNJ]

I appreciated joining @HarryHurley on his program to discuss the devastating Nor’easter that battered our coast. I’ll continue to work with anyone, regardless of party, to deliver the relief our communities need to rebuild, recover, and better protect our shore from future storms.

[Mike Testa @TestaForNJ]

It shouldn’t take a lawsuit to find out how bad New Jersey’s illegal voting saga really is.

Noncitizens registering and casting votes in our elections was preventable. Voter ID is a common-sense safeguard that could have stopped it.

That’s why I co-sponsored legislation to make voter ID the law in New Jersey. It has bipartisan support: Governor Sherrill has said she’d sign it into law!

So, what is the Legislature waiting for? 🤔

[Mike Testa @TestaForNJ]

Mikie could never…

Proud to join Victor Faison on On the Town at the Cape May County Chamber of Commerce alongside the best legislative team in New Jersey, Assemblymen Simonsen and McClellan

From affordability and energy costs to housing and jobs, we’re focused on fighting for the people and communities of South Jersey.

Thanks to Victor and the Chamber for having us!

[Mike Testa @TestaForNJ]

On September 12, 2001, America woke up grieving, but united. We set aside our differences. Neighbors helped neighbors. First responders answered the call. Flags flew from front porches, storefronts, and car windows across the country.

Twenty-five years later, may we remember not only the pain of September 11, but the strength, compassion, and unity we showed each other the day after.

America is strongest when we stand united together. 🇺🇸

[Mike Testa @TestaForNJ]

Twenty-five years later, we carry forward the memory of those we lost, the courage of those who served, and the enduring promise of freedom that binds us together.

We will never forget. 🇺🇸
