We honored the Flemington Area Food Pantry and Walker & Associates on the floor of the Senate for the lifesaving work they do feeding hungry families in our community. With increasing food insecurity, their selfless work and generous support is more critical now than ever before.

Statement on the Campaign for CD-12:

Honored to receive the Workforce Development Award from the Energy Policy Coalition. New Jersey's clean energy revolution must be powered by a well-trained workforce so we can lower energy costs and fight climate change. Proud to be a leader in that work.

I loved spending time with the teachers and preschoolers at Princeton Nursery School. Seeing these kids learn, play, and grow is a powerful reminder of the future we're all working to protect. Thank you to the incredible team at PNS for hosting me.

Statement on the First Night of Hanukkah and the Anti-Semitic Attack in Australia

Financial strain and federal funding cuts are forcing Arkansas PBS to close its doors. We’re facing the same crisis here in New Jersey. We’re working hard in Trenton to ensure that families across NJ can continue getting the PBS programming we all love.

The next generation of STEM leaders are going to make the groundbreaking discoveries and innovations that change the world, and their journey starts right here in New Jersey. Thank you to the Governor's Stem Scholars for giving me the chance to meet and speak to these future leaders.

Thank you to the Greater Westfield Area Chamber of Commerce for having me to discuss pressing issues of energy, housing, and affordability alongside my Senate and Assembly colleagues. Glad we could exchange innovative ideas to make life easier in the Garden State.

NJ PBS has been a good neighbor to New Jersey families for generations, but years of financial hardship have put at risk the news, stories, and shows that mean so much to us. I’m working with my neighbors in the Legislature to ensure public broadcasting stays in our neighborhood.

New Jersey is on the frontlines of climate change. The science is clear: global warming is driving rising sea levels and catastrophic flooding. We need clean, affordable energy that cuts emissions and protects our state.

Welcome to the team Ayla!

This week, we're recognizing the courage and accomplishments of our transgender community in New Jersey and across the country. I'm proud to stand with our LGBTQ+ neighbors to protect access to gender-affirming care, defend the freedom to read, and fight for equal rights.

A judge has finally ordered Seton Hall to turn over all documents from its clergy abuse investigation. Now, we must ensure that the survivors of this horrific abuse get the answers they deserve, and the leaders of Seton Hall who refused to act will be held accountable.

New Jersey is for the people, not polluters. That's why we need to pass the Climate Superfund Act and finally #MakePollutersPay for the damage they've done to our planet. Support S3545/A4696 for a cleaner, more resilient New Jersey.

Grateful for the testimony we received today on how we can continue providing reliable public broadcasting to millions in NJ. Whether it's trusted local news or Sesame Street, families deserve the reliable public broadcasting service that enriches lives and strengthens community.

Excited to welcome Brady to the team as our new Scheduler! Happy to have you on board!

New Jerseyans deserve affordable energy that lowers electric bills while keeping our environment clean. I joined @evergreenction.bsky.social and @nrdc.org to announce new strategies that will boost clean energy production and reform our the PJM system so we can drive down electricity costs.

Today we honor the courage and sacrifice of all who have served our country in uniform. Thank you to our veterans and their families for all you’ve given to keep our country safe.

Happy Election Day!! Don’t forget to head to the polls before 8:00 PM today.

Always a blast visiting with the Rutgers Democrats to talk state politics, upcoming elections, and the most pressing issues affecting young people in New Jersey. Thanks for a great conversation and for staying engaged!

Tomorrow, thousands in LD-16 and 800,000 statewide are at risk of losing the SNAP benefits that keep their families fed. It's on us to stand up for our neighbors. Donate to a local food pantry in Central Jersey and support those in need: yougivegoods.com/campaign-lan...

An @apnews.com investigation found a national push by anti-science conspiracy theorists and RFK Jr. to weaken protections on vaccines, fluoride, and milk safety. NJ is standing up for real science that protects families from dangerous pseudoscience 🧵

Leaders across New Jersey are working to solve the greatest issues in our state, from the soaring cost of housing to unequal opportunity in our education system. I was glad to join those leaders at Crossroads NJ to discuss our progress and the path forward.

Wishing a happy Diwali to all who celebrate! Hoping this new year brings peace and light to you and your loved ones.

Thanks to the Freedom to Read Act, even Assemblywoman Fantasia can challenge a book in her own community through a fair, transparent process involving parents, teachers, and experts. You decide what your kids read, but you don't decide for anyone else. That’s the law in New Jersey

Trump bragging about “terminating” the Gateway Tunnel Project, along with thousands of NJ jobs and major economic opportunities. Jack knows the hurt this will bring to NJ, but he's been silent. @mikiesherrill.bsky.social is speaking up, and as our next Governor, she will fight back.

With the skyrocketing cost of everything from groceries to housing, the last thing we needed this summer were higher utility bills. I joined @njwfp.bsky.social, @njlcv.bsky.social, Sierra Club NJ, and ISLES to call on PJM to stop sidelining the clean, affordable energy we need to lower our bills.

Today marks the start of #BannedBooksWeek, an annual celebration of the freedom to read and the fight against book censorship. This week, we’ll be elevating banned books that challenge ignorance, spark empathy, and remind us why the right to read is worth defending.

Congratulations to the Bayard Rustin Center on unveiling the Queer History Archive! This digital collection honors the legendary life and career of activist Bayard Rustin. In the midst of efforts to erase our history, their work to uplift Rustin’s legacy can inspire and guide us all.

Happy to join Assemblymembers Freiman and Drulis in congratulating Hillsborough's Norz Hill Farm on receiving the Jersey Fresh Farm to School Farmer Recognition award! By providing fresh produce to local schools, they’re helping build healthy habits across Central Jersey.

Walmart’s move to drop synthetic dyes and additives is a big step towards healthier food for all, but we can go further. My bill S3016 would ban several of these and other additives from NJ's stores and schools. Let's make NJ a leader in bringing healthy food to every home.

Wishing an easy fast and meaningful day of reflection for all observing Yom Kippur this evening.

DUMB!

The South Brunswick Public Library is undergoing major renovations to add new meeting rooms, group study spaces, more parking, and a 128-seat theater! I enjoyed checking in on their progress to create these brand new community spaces for everyone to enjoy.

With energy costs climbing, we’re committed to being open about the root causes of our energy crisis and making sure community voices shape our solutions. Thank you to Hillsborough residents who joined us to discuss rising rates and the steps we’re taking to bring costs down.

Congratulations to Raritan Valley Community College on opening up their brand new Workforce Training Center! By training students in advanced manufacturing, clean energy, and life sciences, RVCC is making a huge investment in the people of Central Jersey and our state's economy.

Statement on the Trump Administration doxxing @mikiesherrill.bsky.social:

The New Jersey Big Data Alliance is bringing together experts across academia, industry, and government to make our state a leader in data-driven economic growth. I was glad to join their meeting to discuss key issues like artificial intelligence and data center energy usage.

NJ PBS is a crucial source of information for New Jerseyans to stay updated on our work in Trenton and local news across the state. We can't afford to lose them. I'm joining Senator Burzichelli in calling for a full analysis of how we can preserve PBS.

Happy to join the South Brunswick Economic Development Committee’s fundraiser to support our local EMS heroes in South Brunswick, Kendall Park, and Monmouth Junction. Thank you to all of those who are giving back to the volunteers answering the call to protect our communities.

Shanah Tovah to all who celebrate! 🍎🍯 Wishing you a sweet, healthy, and peaceful New Year filled with joy and hope for the future.

Just like when I debated Jack Ciattarelli, the vision he showed tonight falls dangerously short of what New Jersey needs. Our choice is clear. @mikiesherrill.bsky.social has the leadership and determination to deliver a safer, more affordable, and more resilient future for our state.
