Affordable housing is one of our state’s greatest needs and finding those options can often be challenging. Today, @PhilMurphyNJ signed into law a bill I sponsored w/@stevesweeneynj to require listings of affordable housing units to be made available @ NJ Housing Resource Center.

On May 25, 2020, George Floyd became another African American man to die at the hands of a police officer using excessive force. Six years earlier, Eric Garner suffered the same fate, while also pleading to officers, “I can’t breathe.” #BlackLivesMatter #BLM #icantbreathe

Feeling great pride for my people at today’s peaceful protests in Trenton and Lawrence in support of Black Lives Matter and the fight to overcome 400 years of institutional and systemic racism through change in public policy, accountability and transparency. 🙌🏾 💪🏾 🧡

Another round of face mask distributions to make sure our most vulnerable family members are protected and to ensure that they can comply with the order to wear masks in the grocery store. Delivered with an extra dose of love 💗 and cheer 😁 with special messages on our bags.

A few pictures from our face mask distribution to protect our elderly in the senior buildings in Trenton. I had the pleasure of wishing two of our very special centenarians a Happy Birthday – one celebrating 101 years and the other an amazing 105 years.

The 15th legislative delegation got together today — with proper social distancing — at Trenton City Hall with Mayor Gusciora to package face masks for our senior citizens. The face masks will be distributed in our community to protect those who are most vulnerable to #COVID19.

It was a great turnout at the Male Empowerment Summit yesterday morning at @tesu_edu. So much great info was shared about helping our men of color be the best versions of themselves. Thank you to everyone who participated.

I am proud to sponsor S3799, which passed the Senate today 31-0. The ability to earn a living is a quality of life issue for some residents, and w/more people living and working longer, we need to establish protections to encourage a diverse, multi-generational workforce. @AARPNJ

I joined @BrianLehrer this morning for a discussion on federal and state efforts to fight teen vaping. My bill S3265 would ban flavored e-smoking devices and products.

[The Brian Lehrer Show and A Daily Politics Podcast @BrianLehrer]

Trump moves to ban flavored e-cigarettes and NJ might be the first state to ban e-cigs altogether.

Now: what you need to know about the impending federal and state regulation of vapes with @rachel_roubein and @NJSenTurner
