We look forward to working with him and the rest of Governor Sherrill’s administration to deliver for all of New Jersey’s workers and businesses.

When I took office nine months ago, New Jersey’s unemployment rate was 5.2%. Today, it’s down to 4.2%. That’s real progress for New Jersey families – and we’re just getting started.
While job growth stagnates nationwide under Donald Trump and American families face soaring grocery and gas prices, we’re charting a different path here in New Jersey.
We’re focused on delivering what matters: lower costs, good jobs, less red tape from government, and more opportunities for our families and small businesses to get ahead.
