We are proud to call Judge Peterpaul our assemblywoman!

Throughout Women's History Month, we're highlighting New Jersey LGBTQ+ women leaders and changemakers from yesterday and today to inspire the women of tomorrow!⁠
⁠
Luanne Peterpaul born in Newark, NJ, but a resident of Monmouth County for many years, is the first openly LGBTQ+ woman elected to the New Jersey Legislature.

Asw. Peterpaul was the former chair of the Garden State Equality Action Fund and she was instrumental in advocating for marriage equality in New Jersey through her role on the Board of Directors of Garden State Equality. Asw. Peterpaul is a crucial figure in the advocacy sphere for LGBTQ+ rights, anti-bullying legislation, and civil equality.

Republicans continue to support Trump no matter how horrible his actions.

Senate Republicans once again failed to hold Trump accountable. Today's vote sends us down a dangerous path into a potentially endless war.

The American people don't want this war. Trump has no plan.

This risks the lives of more of our troops and will lead to more skyrocketing costs at home.

Thank you, Senator Booker and Senator Kim!

Trump is using the money Republicans took from your healthcare to open detention facilities and fund the cruelty we're seeing across the country.

Whether it's in Roxbury, NJ or elsewhere, nobody wants this in their backyard.

That's why Senator Cory Booker and I introduced the End Warehouse Detention Act to put an end these inhumane practices from this administration.

From our friends at Food & Water Watch:

The Monmouth County Commissioners are considering a resolution at their public meeting this week to oppose the Polluters Pay to Make NJ More Affordable Act (formerly known as the NJ Climate Superfund Act). We need Monmouth County residents to join us as we speak out in support of this critical bill during the public comment portion of the meeting!

Senator Andy Kim's Statement on Bipartisan Vote to Block DHS Funding:

Senators from both sides of the aisle made clear today that we will not fund this administration's efforts to weaponize the tools of government against us. Their lawlessness has taken lives on the streets of our neighborhoods, and I've heard from so many about an overwhelming fear that they can be targeted next.
We need real changes to fix a broken and lawless system that has led to so many Americans losing trust in their government to keep them safe. The American people deserve real security - they can feel and trust - and I'll be working closely with my colleagues to deliver it.

Today, I voted NO to the funding package for DHS. This may have been my vote, but this was the people's voice.

We need real changes to fix a broken and lawless system. I'll be working closely with my colleagues to deliver it.

From our friends:

“On January 20, we call on our communities to organize teams, call your neighbors and coworkers, friends, turn your back and walk out on fascism. Join us in front of the monmouth county offices/ hall of records and have your voice heard with us. This is a protest and a promise.”

One year into Trump’s second regime, we face an escalating fascist threat: raids on our communities, troops occupying our cities, attacks on immigrants, families torn apart, mass surveillance, and terror used to keep us silent.  It is time for our communities to escalate as well.  2025 w...

RIP Governor Codey!

Statement by Governor Murphy on the Passing of Former Governor Dick Codey
If anybody embodied our proud New Jersey values, it was Governor Dick Codey.
He proved that every single day of his life. Whether as Governor or as the longest-serving lawmaker in New Jersey history, Dick built a safer, healthier future for all of us. From championing funding for mental health care and stem cell research to advancing smoke-free indoor spaces in New Jersey, Dick protected every one of our communities and sought to cultivate the potential of every one of our neighbors.
Dick's legacy of heroic service extends well beyond the walls of the State House. As a coach for youth basketball teams, he inspired young New Jerseyans to strive for greatness - on and off the court. As a funeral director, he consoled our families during their darkest moments and guided them through grief and loss. And as a dear, personal friend, Dick was there for Tammy and me, back when it was cold, dark, and lonely.
When Dick announced his retirement from the Legislature back in 2023, he wisely observed that public service is about making a difference in the lives of people. It's about working together to create a better future for everyone.' For more than half a century, Dick did exactly that. He distinguished himself as the consummate public servant, working alongside New Jerseyans of all beliefs and backgrounds to chart a brighter path forward. He will be dearly missed.
On behalf of a grateful state: Thank you, Dick, for everything you have given New Jersey. Tammy and I are sending our love and deepest condolences to Dick's wife, Mary Jo, their two sons, Kevin and Christopher, and the entire Codey family.

Governor Dick Codey distinguished himself as the consummate public servant, working alongside New Jerseyans of all beliefs and backgrounds to chart a brighter path forward.

Tammy and I are sending our love and deepest condolences to Dick's wife, their two sons, and the entire Codey family.
