This weekend Sen. Shirley Turner celebrated New Jersey's first annual Six Triple Eight Day in Allentown, honoring the only all-Black, all-female WWII unit - and the 28 trailblazing NJ women who served in its ranks. Her legislation was signed into law earlier this month by @govmurphy.bsky.social

"The threat to Medicaid remains very real and ongoing," says Sen. Joe Vitale. The proposed federal cuts by Republicans could result in 350,000 NJ residents losing their healthcare coverage. These are critical funds that help sustain our healthcare system and ensure care for our most vulnerable.

The Senate Health, Human Services and Senior Citizens is now meeting. Listen live:

We advanced legislation by Senators Shirley Turner & Angela McKnight to create the Chronic Absenteeism Task Force - to examine the root causes of student absenteeism and deliver bold, actionable recommendations to boost attendance across our public schools.

Sen. President Scutari: This is a major victory for New Jersey. Service is being restored, and with it, the stability and reliability that our residents rightfully expect. We cannot afford disruptions like this, and I am glad decisive action was taken to resolve it.

Happy Mother's Day from Sen. Angela McKnight: My mother's kind, loving, and caring heart has deeply influenced my growth as a woman. Her unwavering support during difficult times and her gentle guidance have instilled in me the values of compassion and resilience.

Happy Mothers Day from Senator @troysingletonnj.bsky.social : My mother taught me the value of hard work, resilience and treating everyone with dignity. Her quiet strength and unconditional love gave me the foundation to stand tall, even through life’s most difficult moments.

Sen Gordon Johnson: My mom Myrtle Ballard Johnson was a compassionate and loving woman. She was a strong believer in learning an instrument and as a kid forced me to take saxophone lessons against my will. Although I gave her a hard time about it, it later paid off when I joined a rock and roll band

Senator Patrick Diegnan about his mom Sally Byrne Diegnan: The definition of a saint. Emigrated from Ireland at age 18. Raised seven children. Never once heard Mom complain. Taught all of us the value of family and respect for others. We were all blessed to have her as our mother.

Sen. Renee Burgess with her mother Sarah "My mom gave me very simple, yet profound counsel: keep God first, do not treat others the way they treat you, have confidence in yourself, and do not repay evil with evil. People are always going to talk and I should shine anyway."

Sen. Burzichelli is calling out utility companies over PJM's energy auction that will spike electric bills. A broken unaccountable system is putting profits over people, and NJ ratepayers shouldn’t be stuck footing the bill.

Happy Older Americans Month! Senator @vingopal.bsky.social joined Interfaith Neighbors to serve warm meals to seniors in Neptune. Their programs distribute hundreds of meals each week throughout Monmouth County, including to 800 homebound seniors through Meals on Wheels.
