Happy New Jersey Day!

Today we celebrate the Garden State - its rich history, diverse communities, and the people who this such a great place to call home.

From our beaches to our farms, our small towns to our cities, here's to everything that makes New Jersey, New Jersey.

Your personal data should never determine the price you pay at checkout.

Governor Sherrill signed the Fair Price Protection Act, led by Senators Joe Cryan and Joe Lagana, to protect New Jersey shoppers from surveillance pricing.

[NJ Senate Democrats @NJSenDems]

No one should pay more because of their personal data.

The Fair Price Protection Act, sponsored by @SenatorJoeCryan & Sen. Lagana, is now law, banning the practice of using consumers' personal data to charge higher prices for the same items.

The actions of Patrolman Geter Benitez reflect the highest standards of the Long Branch Police Department. He placed himself directly in harm’s way, without hesitation, to protect a resident of this city from a lethal attack.

Thank you to our Monmouth County police officers for what they do each and every day!

Families have lost their cars, homes, and even their lives due to severe flooding across NJ. We can’t continue to ignore the climate crisis.

That means more clean energy, building flood preventative infrastructure, and holding accountable the polluters causing climate change.

[Senator Andrew Zwicker @AndrewZwicker]

With AI displacing more and more workers, we need better systems that help retain employees and prevent mass job loss.

Employee ownership is proven to lead to higher employee retention rates. That's one of the reasons we're pushing to expand access to ESOPs in New Jersey.
