Carmen Amato

Senator 9th Legislative District

[Dawn Fantasia @DawnFantasia_NJ]

.@GovSherrillNJ should’ve bumped that press conference a little later to happy hour because nobody should have to sit through an all-you-can-eat buffet of BS without a drink.

Caldwell is resigning after a months-long investigation. Her campaign heard repeated concerns about behavior beginning in March. When did Sherrill know the deal, and what did she do besides leave him in charge of the state for 18 days while he was under investigation? Instead of an answer, we got Trump, Climate Week & a random, off-the-wall claim that utility ratepayers will save a magical mystery billion dollars over eight months.

Then she claimed that the @NJAssemblyGOP & @NJSenateGOP are only concerned about the Caldwell debacle because we’re “ducking for cover” over Trump. Au contraire. Wanna talk about ducking for cover? Sherrill ducked for cover when summer storms devastated northwest NJ; she couldn’t even face people in the counties she used to represent in Congress.

Then she said we’re bitter because she’s running an “incredibly competent” administration (that’s where we would’ve spit out our drinks). Is that what she calls promising no pork yet signing a budget full of it? Promising to freeze electric rates while bills spike? Massively botching the Delaney Hall riot response? Signing unconstitutional laws that get NJ sued on the taxpayers’ dime? Or signing a lazy, unvetted law, realizing the mistake and saying, “It’s okay, we just won’t enforce it”?

Caldwell was also secretary of state, overseeing elections. Thousands of noncitizens were registered in a single year & hundreds cast ballots. So comforting to know the prerequisite she emphasized for the person taking over wasn’t cleaning up NJ’s voter rolls. Apparently it was “must dislike Trump.”

And it’s the same flaccid excuse whenever NJ’s own failures come up: blame @POTUS. NJ lands at the bottom of just about every fiscal ranking in the country. This might shock and surprise her, but Trump is president of the states at the top, too.

Want to know why New Jerseyans are upset? We’re getting absurd electric bills and paying for Trenton’s mistakes while she travels the country auditioning for her next job. We don’t have millions in stock holdings to cushion us from her poor decisions.

NJ is our home, not her chess board or her stepping stone. We aren't pawns. We warned people during the campaign, and eight months in, she’s already got us in the rearview.

We told you so. #dirtyjersey

Powerful waves from Manahawkin Bay are crashing toward homes in Surf City, pushing coastal floodwater farther inland and inundating streets and properties. 🌊🏠

1/5 New Jersey taxpayers pay the highest property taxes in the nation. Yet AG Jennifer Davenport just joined a multi-state lawsuit to block enforcement of the federal "public charge" rule—shifting the financial burden of immigration directly onto working families. 🧵

Wishing all who observe a peaceful Yom Kippur.

May this sacred Day of Atonement be a time of reflection and bring a year filled with blessings to you and your loved ones.

[New Jersey Senate Republicans @NJSenateGOP]

More than 1,000 New Jerseyans have lost their job or been relocated in the month of September. Every job impacted by New Jersey’s near worst-in-the-nation business climate makes the Garden State harder to afford for working families.

[Amato, Rumpf, Myhre @9thDistrictNJ]

Sen. Amato: It is deeply disappointing that the State failed to properly care for New Jersey’s sacred Empty Sky 9/11 Memorial at Liberty State Park, effectively allowing it to be abandoned.

[New Jersey Senate Republicans @NJSenateGOP]

Congrats to @SenCorrado and Sen. @HollySchepisi on being named 2026 Elected Women of Excellence Award recipients by @ElectedWomen!

Alongside 11 other women legislators from across the country, we’re so proud to see our Senators recognized for their leadership and public service.

[Declan O'Scanlon @declanoscanlon]

Horrific policy & unconstitutional to boot…both as Republicans have been saying from the start. Hope my friends on other side of the aisle are ready to abandon this dumb, whacky idea!

[New Jersey GOP @NJGOP]

New Jersey families can count on Congressman Kean. He will never stop fighting for and serving those who need it most.

[Amato, Rumpf, Myhre @9thDistrictNJ]

Sen. Amato: “Yesterday's ruling that New York’s 2024 Climate Superfund Law is preempted by federal law verified what we have believed for some time — our lawmakers should not be considering the same ill-fated policy in New Jersey...”

@dytreboe Have an outstanding school year!!

[New Jersey Senate Republicans @NJSenateGOP]

There is widespread bipartisan support for establishing Voter ID requirements in the Garden State. So what's stopping Trenton? 🗳️

It's time for the Legislature to pass bill S-68 and fix the Democrats' voter registration disaster. @SenatorTesta

[New Jersey Senate Republicans @NJSenateGOP]

🍎Wishing New Jersey's students and teachers a safe and successful school year!

As a new year begins, our fight for fair and equitable school funding continues. Every student deserves the resources and opportunities they need to succeed, no matter their ZIP code. 📚

[NJBIA @NJBIA]

NJBIA's @CantorRaymond issued a statement today after a federal judge ruled NY cannot enforce its 2024 Climate Superfund Law because it's pre-empted by federal law. Said Cantor: “We urge the supporters of this legislation in NJ to recognize that this bill is unfair, punitive to consumers, damaging to NJ jobs, and now, clearly unconstitutional." @NJSenDems @NJSenateGOP @njassemblydems @NJAssemblyGOP @GovSherrillNJ

We remember every life lost and honor the families forever changed. 🕯️

Leader @TonyBucco sponsored the legislation establishing August 31 as Overdose Awareness Day in New Jersey — a day to promote prevention and remind those struggling that recovery and hope are possible. 💜

[NJ Assembly GOP @NJAssemblyGOP]

NJ went from 1,212 concealed carry permit holders to 57,000.

Crime went down.
Courts struck down the assault weapons ban.
SCOTUS flagged the sensitive places law.
@VoteMyhre checks the predictions.
