NJ Assembly GOP

08/30/2026

Four years ago, New Jersey's gun control advocates made a prediction: more concealed carry permits meant more crime. The Wild West. Chaos.

Assemblyman Greg Myhre checked the numbers.

New Jersey went from 1,212 permit holders in 2022 to more than 57,000 today. Violent crime fell. The murder rate dropped. And in July, the Third Circuit Court of Appeals struck down New Jersey's assault weapons ban — with eight judges in the majority including a Biden appointee.

The Wild West never arrived.

But the facts did.

Episode 3 of The Rundown is live and Assemblyman Greg Myhre doesn't sugarcoat it.

💼 New Jersey lost 25,600 jobs in July — the worst single month in 36 years. The administration called it "likely overstated." The 25,600 people who lost their jobs might disagree.

🗳️ The voter roll update: 5,100 noncitizens removed, 340 confirmed ballots cast, 1,450 more in limbo. Governor Sherrill calls Republican questions a "political weapon." We call them sentences ending in question marks.

⚖️ Governor Sherrill signed S2260 this week. Criminal penalties up to 10 years. Civil fines up to $25,000. Licensing boards barred from oversight of procedures on minors. Assembly Republicans voted no and said exactly why.

📉 The Reason Foundation ranked New Jersey the most financially distressed state in America. The Governor was in New Hampshire campaigning for Democrats when the ranking came out.

Meet Rocco DiGerolamo. Retired New Jersey State Trooper. He has a question for Trenton.

"When you came in, you understood you were going to be taken care of in the end. So you sacrificed in the beginning to know that you were going to be well taken care of. And that was the case when I came out. And then, little by little, it's this and then this and this. It keeps just going. And after a while, I mean, you say — 'Was it worth it?'"

Rocco isn't asking for sympathy. He's asking for a straight answer.

New Jersey State Troopers put their lives on the line every day on the Turnpike, in our communities, at 3 a.m. when everyone else is asleep. They accepted lower pay upfront because they were promised security at the end. That was the deal.

Trenton broke it. Slowly. Quietly. Cut by cut.

"It's like the death by a thousand cuts," Rocco says. "They've been chipping away at our benefits. Little by little, they just kept chipping away."

The State Treasurer testified this summer that a cost-of-living adjustment for retired public employees is approximately 25 years away.

Twenty-five years.

Meanwhile the budget signed on June 30th found $360 million for midnight pork spending, $110 million to bail out Jersey City, and $20 million in legal defense funds for non-citizen voters.

There was money for all of that. There is apparently no money for Rocco.

Assembly Republicans have sponsored legislation to restore COLA increases for retired State Police, law enforcement, teachers, and state workers. Democrats haven't moved it.

Rocco kept his end of the bargain. It's time Trenton kept its.

New Jersey has the highest property taxes in America. Florida charges roughly 1/3 the cost. The difference adds up to $17,000 more every year for the same family in the same house.

Assemblyman Mike Inganamort breaks it all down in Episode 1 of our new series — Side by Side — where we compare New Jersey to other states on the numbers that actually affect your life.

Property taxes. Income taxes. Total burden. And what Trenton keeps doing to make it worse.

The comments on this video are already telling the story — viewers counting down years until they can leave, families planning moves to Pennsylvania, retirees who've already made the decision.

They're doing the math. Are you?

A private foundation is doing what state government hasn't.

Thank you, Gary Sinise and the Gary Sinise Foundation.

With the 25th anniversary of September 11th less than three weeks away, the Foundation is donating $40,000 to deep clean New Jersey's Empty Sky memorial at Liberty State Park — honoring the 749 New Jerseyans killed that day.

The memorial still lacks its steel cladding and the words "Never Forget" that were always intended to be there. Its own co-designer has called it an eyesore. Families of victims have called the state's neglect disgraceful.

Last month, victim family groups called on Governor Mikie Sherrill to budget the $15 million needed to finally finish it. So far, no commitment.

Gary Sinise stepped up. New Jersey should too.

This memorial deserves to be finished. It is long overdue.

The announcement of the donation comes after individuals and groups representing victims of the terror attack called on Gov. Mikie Sherrill to bsdget the $15 million needed to finish the memorial.

New Jersey keeps sliding in the national rankings. Every year. Same direction.

U.S. News & World Report released its 2026 Best States rankings — and New Jersey dropped again.

Two years ago we ranked 14th overall. Last year, 19th. This year, 20th. The trajectory is going one direction.

Here's the breakdown behind the overall number:

✅ Pre-K-12 Education: #1
✅ Healthcare: #6
✅ Crime & Corrections: #11

❌ Fiscal Stability: #49
❌ Affordability: #49
❌ Opportunity: #44
❌ Economy: #36

Sure we have world-class schools and hospitals. Nobody disputes that. But you cannot build a future in a state families cannot afford to live in, and cannot retire in, and cannot start a business in.

49th in fiscal stability. 49th in affordability. 25,600 jobs lost in July. A record budget with $800 million in new taxes just signed. And the governor is heading cross-country this week to campaign for Democrats in other states.

14th. 19th. 20th.

The answer isn't working. Time to try something different.

U.S. News & World Report ranks all 50 states.

If you watched The Rundown this week, Assemblyman Mike Inganamort promised you something. It's live now.

"Turn the Lights On" goes deeper on the story behind New Jersey's budget resolutions — how sponsors get swapped, explanations get sanitized, and nearly $500 million in pet projects gets hidden until nobody is paying attention.

Governor Sherrill stood in the Assembly Chamber on March 10th and promised to end Christmas tree spending.

The resolutions prove she didn't.

Seven weeks after the budget was signed. On a Friday afternoon in August.

Episode 2 of The Rundown is live!

Assemblyman Mike Inganamort breaks down the week Trenton hoped you'd miss:

💸 Nearly $500 million in broken budget promises — Governor Mikie Sherrill stood in the Assembly Chamber in March and pledged to end Christmas tree spending. The resolutions released last Friday prove she didn't.

🌎 $8.2 billion — Assemblyman Paul Kanitra's six-month investigation into what illegal immigration actually costs New Jersey taxpayers. Every year.

🗳️ The Congressional deadline that passed — House Judiciary, House Administration, Van Drew, and Lee gave New Jersey until Monday to produce voter roll documents. No public indication NJ complied.

🚁 The helicopter with no paper trail — Governor Sherrill used a State Police helicopter to fly to Annapolis. $5,600 in taxpayer money. Her office justified it as official state business. Assemblyman Alex Sauickie filed an OPRA request for the speech she gave. The response: no records exist.

Today New Jersey released its July jobs report.

📉 25,600 jobs lost in one month
📉 19,600 jobs lost year over year
📉 June revised from -300 to -4,200 — it was actually worse than first reported

Mars. ExxonMobil. Anheuser-Busch. Samsung. And that's before you add JetBlue, Mercedes-Benz, Honeywell, and Hertz to the list of companies that have left or pulled back in recent years.

New Jersey has the highest corporate tax rate in America at 11.5%. The 2nd worst economic outlook in the nation. The 49th worst tax climate overall. A record $60.75 billion budget with $800 million in new taxes signed this summer.

The Sherrill administration's response to today's job losses: the number is "likely overstated."

Tell that to the 25,600 people who lost their jobs in July.

The heads in the sand can't stay there forever.

New Jersey just lost 25,600 jobs in July. Over the past year, the state has lost 19,600 jobs net.

Governor Mikie Sherrill's own Department of Labor released the numbers this morning. Here's what they show:

📉 25,600 jobs lost in July alone
📉 19,600 jobs lost year over year
📉 Professional and business services: lost 13,400 jobs in July
📉 Leisure and hospitality: lost 7,300 jobs in July
📉 Construction: down 1,300
📉 June's job numbers were also revised downward - from a loss of 300 to a loss of 4,200

The administration's response: the unemployment rate ticked down slightly, and the July number is "likely overstated" due to seasonal adjustment factors.

Here's what's not overstated:

New Jersey has the 2nd worst economic outlook in America. The highest property taxes in the nation. The 9th highest electric bills. A record $60.75 billion budget with $800 million in new taxes signed this summer. And Samsung, ExxonMobil, Anheuser-Bush and Mars have all left or pulled back in recent years.

You cannot tax and spend your way to job growth. New Jersey keeps trying anyway.
