New Jersey Governor Mikie Sherrill’s proposed budget for Fiscal Year 2027 includes funding to expand the state’s universal home nurse program for new moms and babies to all 21 counties in early 2027, fully implementing the initiative started by @FirstLadyNJ.
Known as Family Connects NJ, the program pays for specially trained nurses to visit families at home within two weeks of a baby’s birth or the adoption of a newborn.

Amazing work, @GovSherrillNJ!!
Years ago, we set out to change outcomes for moms & babies. Now a core part of that vision is going statewide, saving lives & delivering real savings.
Another step closer to making NJ the safest place to have a baby! https://t.co/01ZWMVoStE
It has been an extraordinary run.
As I leave the State House for the last time as Governor, I am proud to say we are leaving our children a state that is better than we found it. A New Jersey that is stronger, fairer, and more responsible.
To each and every New Jerseyan: It has been the highest honor of my life to serve as your Governor. Thank you for joining me on this journey.
Never forget: We’re from Jersey, baby!!
There are no words to express how proud I am of all that we have accomplished together.
It has been an absolute honor and privilege to serve as First Lady of our great state.
Thank you, New Jersey!
For the past eight years, thanks to the @NewarkMuseumArt, Timothy White’s artwork has hung on the walls of @GovMurphy’s satellite office in Newark.
Now, the “What Exit?” installation will live in Terminal A at @EWRAirport!
Timothy’s art celebrates the greatest artists in New Jersey history – artists who span generations, cultures and creative traditions.
From today forward, travelers from all over the world will be welcomed not just by a beautiful terminal, but by the creative soul of our state.
With this report, we are leaving behind a clear and detailed roadmap to maintain our momentum and realize our goal of making New Jersey the safest, most equitable state in the nation to deliver and raise a baby.

We are incredibly grateful for leaders like NVIDIA co-founder Chris Malachowsky, whose passion and commitment to his home state will produce tremendous benefits for our students and economy!
This morning in Newark, @NJGov proudly announced a collaboration with @NVIDIA and New Jersey colleges and universities that will advance AI innovation.
Our goal is to equip our next generation with the knowledge, skills and experience they need to tackle climate change and take on the jobs of the future.
Today, @GovMurphy delivered his final State of the State Address, reflecting on the past eight years of building a stronger and fairer New Jersey. What a journey!!
We are so incredibly proud of you, Phil!
When the Supreme Court launched an unprecedented assault on reproductive rights, we — in New Jersey — fought back.
Months before the Court issued its dreadful Dobbs decision, we took action and codified the right to abortion.
And in the years since then — at a time when extremist politicians have put a target on the backs of women — we have firmly established New Jersey as a safe haven for reproductive freedom.
Today at 3:00 p.m., I will deliver my final State of the State Address.
Over the past eight years, we have built a New Jersey that is stronger AND fairer than ever before. We were who we said we’d be — and we did what we said we’d do.
Let us reflect on the progress we have made together.
