We passed SR-85 to reaffirm a simple truth: science matters, and protecting our residents comes first.
The Trump rollback of the EPA’s Endangerment Finding ignores overwhelming scientific evidence and puts public health at risk.
Thank you @D17Senator for speaking out.

Proud to sign legislation that will accelerate progress on our clean energy goals and expand energy storage in New Jersey.
By strengthening the Garden State Energy Storage Program, we’re cutting through unnecessary delays and opening the door to more competitive, cost‑effective storage projects that will help us meet our needs and build a cleaner, more reliable grid.
