Problems with these state health plans have been a major driver of rising property taxes in recent years. There are no easy answers, but I look forward to working towards the best possible solution for our State.

New Jersey Assemblyman @AndrewMacurdy introduced legislation today which aims to completely overhaul the State Health Benefits Program (SHBP) and the School Employees’ Health Benefits Program, as rates continue to skyrocket year over year - leading to increased property taxes.

In what is considered an "extraordinary and drastic" decision, a federal judge ruled in favor of New York and New Jersey to lift the federal government's suspension of funds for the $16B Gateway tunnel project. My story @northjersey : northjersey.com/story/news/t…

The first of five early Gateway Tunnel projects is almost finished and tunnel boring machines on the way. When is the federal government going to resume payments?

Springfield is ready to elect @MikieSherrill and flip NJ Assembly seats with @AndrewMacurdy and Vinny Kearney. Loved joining @CoryBooker to fire up Union county in the homestretch.

As a prosecutor, I've sat with parents who have lost their children to gun violence, and prosecuted traffickers bringing illegal guns into NJ. We need legislators with the right experience who will champion reasonable firearm safety measures. Vote by Nov 4th.

This is not how government is supposed to function. A critical infrastructure project cancelled for political retribution? The incumbents in my district will not take action to get this money back. Let’s make our voices heard on Election Day. nytimes.com/2025/10/15/nyreg…

Trump Says $16 Billion Hudson River Tunnel Project Is ‘Terminated’

It was not immediately clear what the president meant and whether the project, known as Gateway, had already been stripped of federal funding.

Our incumbent Assembly reps have not made public transit a priority. They both voted against critical resources for NJ Transit just last year. They will not take on the federal govt to restore funding for the Gateway Tunnel project. Vote for change November 4th

Federal govt is withholding funding for the Gateway Tunnel. Hard to express the frustration at this move and how much it will harm NJ. I am running for the Legislature to help make sure this tunnel is built. Let’s make this election count. politico.com/news/2025/10/01…
