From the New Jersey Legislative Black Caucus in response to Secretary of State Tahesha Way's appointment to serve as Lieutenant Governor:
“Lieutenant Governor Shelia Oliver was an institution in New Jersey politics and government. It is only fitting to her legacy that her replacement be a Black woman who is committed to public service. Tahesha Way has served our great state as Secretary of State, showcasing her dedication to strengthening our democracy. Since 2018, Tahesha has been a partner in the Legislature’s efforts to expand access to the vote, and her help was critical in adapting our election infrastructure during the height of the pandemic.
We applaud Governor Murphy for appointing Tahesha Way to serve as his Lieutenant Governor. The position of Lieutenant Governor is valuable, and our state deserves an individual who is up for the task of creating a more equitable society. The Legislative Black Caucus is looking forward to our continued partnership and working towards more progressive policies and legislation for systemic and structural change.”
New Jersey Legislative Black Caucus established in 1971
Today, Governor Phil Murphy announced Secretary of State Tahesha L. Way as New Jersey's next Lieutenant Governor. We look forward to her continued contributions to the state. Congratulations, Tahesha Way!

⚠️ An Air Quality Action Day for Ozone has been declared for Wednesday, September 6th. Sensitive individuals, including the very young, the elderly, and persons with respiratory diseases such as asthma, should avoid strenuous activities during the afternoon and early evening hours.
High pressure across the Eastern Seaboard will continue to dominate the weather pattern through Thursday, providing the region with unseasonably hot temperatures in the mid-to-upper 90s. Light and variable winds in the morning will gradually shift out of the northwest as the day progresses, with a sea breeze front developing by early afternoon. The sea-breeze front will create an onshore flow along the coast, allowing for a convergence of air masses in central and southern portions of the state as winds inland continue to tend out of the northwest. This in combination with sunny skies and limited atmospheric ventilation will cause ozone concentrations to quickly rise into the USG category along the I-95 corridor and regions south, with the highest concentrations expected in coastal portions of central and southern NJ. Very light levels of aged Canadian wildfire smoke are expected to mix down to the surface as well, resulting in the potential for further ozone enhancement.
Additionally, local pollution sources, such as mobile sources, power plants, and other industrial sources, and the transport of ozone precursors from upwind states by winds at the surface and aloft will contribute to elevated ozone concentrations monitored in New Jersey during this timeframe. Relief from elevated levels can be expected on Friday as low pressure impacts the region.
