I had a chance to speak at NEI's Nuclear Communications Forum discussing the future of nuclear energy and the role of states to set forward-thinking policy. NJ has started the process to build new nuclear generation (fission and fusion) as key to a clean energy future for all.

Thrilled to join NJ Transit CEO Kris Kolluri, County Executive Benson, Council President Lambros, Councilwoman Sacks, and Mayor Freda to celebrate the official re-launch of the Princeton Loop. Proud to represent communities pushing sustainable public transit. Try the new Loop!

Stopped by and talked to orgs at the Hunterdon County Disability Services Expo. As a member of the Legislative Disability Caucus, I know how critical it is for families to understand all the services available to their loved ones. Thanks to everyone who helped organize the Expo!

Yesterday was a great day in Trenton as the budget committee took testimony from the Departments of Transportation, Health, NJ Transit and the MVC. My staff and I also had a chance to sit down with Governor Sherrill to talk about voting rights, innovation, and the future of NJ PBS.

I had so much fun throwing out the first pitch to help kick off the Somerset Patriots' regular season. And I got to meet legendary pitcher Sparky Lyle, one of my childhood baseball heroes! Thanks for having me Somerset, and good luck on your season ⚾️

Grateful to visit Community Options and see firsthand the work they do supporting people with disabilities to live full, engaged lives in their communities. I'm proud to work with them in Trenton and champion their mission across New Jersey.

Princeton showed up in the thousands to demand NO KINGS and an end to Trump's lawlessness. Together, we're standing up for our neighbors and the values of our and freedom that define us. After 250 years, American democracy will not bend to authoritarianism. Not on our watch.

Authoritarianism demands that we look away as our rights and freedoms are degraded. The thousands who showed up for No Kings in Central Jersey aren't looking away - they're fighting back. Watch my speech at Princeton No Kings yesterday 🔽 www.youtube.com/watch?v=1q1O...

Honored to accept an award from the Tri-County CMO. This org is dedicated to supporting youth facing mental health challenges right here in Central Jersey, and the work they do makes a real difference for the children who need it most. I'm proud to be a partner in their mission.

Last week, a fire at a housing complex in Branchburg left several families without a home. If you want to step up and help as they rebuild and seek support, head to the link in my bio and donate to any of the organizations listed. Thank you for showing up to help your neighbors.

Stopped during a busy day in Trenton to say hello to students from Teaneck. I grew up right next door in Englewood and remember hanging out at Bischoff’s. Thanks for stopping by the State House!

A wise doctor once said: “You can find magic wherever you look. Sit back and relax, all you need is a book." It's always a joy to visit with our littlest learners for Read Across America day.

Statement on ICE Shooting in Minnesota:

Congratulations to Governor Sherrill and Lt. Governor Caldwell on their inauguration! Our new Governor took immediate action to lower utility costs, and I’m excited to be a strong partner to her in Trenton to continue making energy affordable for New Jerseyans.

With so much injustice in the world today, the words of Dr. King ring out stronger than ever. Continue speaking out for the things that matter, remember that collectively we, the people, have the power in this fight and commit to showing up for our neighbors and our communities.

My statement on the ICE raid in Princeton:

Honored to be sworn in again as your Senator from LD16 to serve in the 222nd legislature. Let’s get to work!

My honor tonight to swear in Councilwoman Susan Engelhardt of Flemington and Councilman Ben Valliere of Lebanon. Looking forward to all that they accomplish for their communities!

Now that the Corporation for Public Broadcasting is officially shutting down, it's even more important that we provide a stable funding structure for public broadcasting in New Jersey. We have 6 months before NJ PBS shuts down. Let's keep public media on the air.

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.

Honored to join Senator Polistina in being named an ACCSES NJ Legislative Champion! Advocating to make NJ workplaces more inclusive for our IDD community isn’t just good policy; it’s a moral responsibility. Thank you to all the advocates working to build a more equitable state!
