New Jersey is at a Crossroads

Despite New Jersey’s strengths – our location so close to major markets, our diverse and talented population, and our history of prioritizing education and environmental protection – the future prosperity of our state is at risk. We have, for years, refused to make the public investments needed for New Jersey’s communities to thrive. This is the time for us to confront New Jersey’s problems head-on and seek consensus on the policies that divide us.
