New Jersey, thank you. I am deeply honored by your trust and humbled to continue serving as your Senator. The work ahead is great, but we will face it together with hope and determination. I’ll be speaking more shortly on the road ahead and the work that must be done here: https://t.co/HXfrFAhTtN
New Jersey, it is the honor of my life to earn your trust to become this great state’s 57th Governor.
I promise to listen, lead with courage, and never forget who I serve.
I will quibble with the headline (NJ is taking multi-faceted and strategic action) but the broader point is correct; it's far past time for NJ to make a strong investment in #ClimateResilience.

Congratulations to the @NewJerseyDEP team. After four years and 50 stakeholder meetings, this rule proposal represents a balanced, science-based approach that adds to the diverse suite of actions New Jersey is undertaking to promote #ClimateResilience.
"Look behind me, there are hundreds, a thousand people here all excited by science. It's amazing!"
Our own scientist @AndrewZwicker took in Monday's #Eclipse at Palmer Square in Princeton, joining people all across New Jersey - and the world - to take in this remarkable event
The “greatest comeback story never told” includes removing poisonous lead pipes all across America so every child can drink clean water…thanks to @JoeBiden’s Bipartisan Infrastructure Law.🚰
Creating good-paying union jobs while ensuring safe drinking water for all.

The air we breathe is cleaner & healthier when we make it so.
The science is clear: fine particulate matter (PM 2.5) is a danger to our health, even at low levels.
The technology is here: better pollution controls are available & affordable.
Thanks @EPA @EPAair. Let’s do this!
People who are still fixing up homes after other floods (even Ida in 2021!) feel frustrated, exhausted, and very angry. But fixing this will take political will—extreme planning—and a lotta $$$. Rainstorms will only get more intense, and more frequent as Earth warms.

Last bill for the Assembly yesterday was not controversial: 66-0 in favor of the EV Battery Act. This will be the 1st bill in the nation to require an EV battery recycling framework. Kudos @D17Senator for hammering this out; bill goes to @GovMurphy's desk. @PNE_Cycle#lameduck
NJ will soon cut taxes by over $1 billion for major corporations Amazon, Walmart and more by letting the state's 2.5% surcharge on corporate business tax expire. Meanwhile, NJ Transit is facing a looming budget deficit, threatening rail and bus services for residents across the state. It doesn't make sense.
I'm standing behind our community advocates and pushing back and calling on Governor Murphy to stop this corporate giveaway by extending the Corporate Business Tax surcharge and dedicating the revenue to NJ TRANSIT. I hope you join me in signing and sharing this important petition below.

No one is coming to take your gas stove or car.
Beware of misinformation meant to divide & scare us against taking action to protect our health, communities & economy from increasing heat, floods & wildfire.
Let’s fight climate change, not each other.

Democrats delivered historic climate wins last Congress, and they have already created over 142,000 jobs. @POTUS’ budget builds on these investments.
Yet at today’s @EPA budget hearing, my Republican colleagues remain fixated on repealing these investments at every turn.
"...for decades, it’s been noted that when ice cream sales increase, so do shark attacks. But there is correlation and there is causation.”
Whale deaths are concerning. But when they predate even the Murphy Admin, it becomes harder to falsely blame OSW.

read that again
If people "want to work longer" they already have that choice. House Republicans want to end your freedom to retire with dignity after you've put in your time.
