Today, we honor the brave Americans who stormed the beaches of Normandy 82 years ago and changed the course of history.

On D-Day, extraordinary men and women answered their nation's call, risking everything to defend freedom and defeat tyranny. Their courage reminds us that liberty is never guaranteed and it must be protected by each generation.

We remember their sacrifice, honor their legacy, and remain grateful for the freedoms they secured.

Over the past several weeks, our office has been inundated with calls and emails from residents who fear they may lose their homes because of staggering increases in homeowners’ association fees.

We've heard from working families, single parents, and retirees who are already struggling with the rising cost of living. For many of these residents, these increases are simply unsustainable.

Senator Vince Polistina and Assemblyman Don Guardian (Both R-Atlantic) announced they are introducing legislation to modify New Jersey’s capital reserve funding requirement for associations of p

For over a century, New Jersey earned the reputation as a business-friendly state, where innovative companies could grow, invest, and create good-paying careers. In just nine years under a Democratic majority, we’ve watched that legacy unravel.

Senator Jim Holzapfel (R-Monmouth, Ocean) released the following statement after global energy giant ExxonMobil and tech leader Samsung announced plans to relocate their headquarters from New Jersey t

We hoped Governor Sherrill would focus on making New Jersey more affordable and work with us on issues that actually matter to families. Instead of returning money to ratepayers, restoring school funding, or protecting services for veterans, seniors, people with disabilities, and vulnerable children, she just announced another $12 million for illegal immigrant legal defense programs.

It's embarrassing. New Jersey families are struggling, school districts are being shortchanged, and taxpayers keep getting squeezed. If this is what Governor Sherrill considers a priority, New Jersey is in for a very long four years.

New Jersey has some of the toughest counseling licensure requirements in the nation.

That's why I introduced Senate Bill S-1883, reducing LPC licensure hours from 4,500 to 3,000 while maintaining strong clinical standards.

✅ Address workforce shortages
✅ Support future counselors
✅ Maintain strong standards
✅ Improve access to mental health care

It's time to strengthen New Jersey's mental health workforce. Thank you to Senator Kristin M. Corrado and Senator Declan J. O'Scanlon Jr. for co-sponsoring this bill.

I’m honored to receive the NJCAHT Advocacy Award and I’m proud to champion the legislative fight to end human trafficking here in New Jersey. NJCAHT has worked tirelessly to help communities across our state recognize the warning signs of human trafficking, and together we are advancing critical legislation to crack down on predators who profit from human suffering.

I will continue standing up for the lives of survivors and remain committed to doing everything in my power to ensure traffickers are identified and brought to justice.

The New Jersey Coalition Against Human Trafficking (NJCAHT) honored Senate Republican Leader Anthony M. Bucco (R-Morris, Passaic) with the 2026 NJCAHT Advocacy Award for his leadership in combating hu

I appreciate Governor Sherrill’s decision to cooperate with federal authorities and deploy the New Jersey State Police to restore order at Delaney Hall. The brave men and women of law enforcement, both state and federal, deserve our gratitude for standing their ground to protect peaceful protesters, nearby residents, and public safety in the face of escalating unrest from violent agitators.

I hope that none of our law enforcement at the local, state, or national level were injured as a result of the unlawful violent actions of rioters.

Senator Michael Testa (R-Atlantic, Cumberland, Cape May) issued the following statement, commending New Jersey State law enforcement for restoring order and protecting public safety after months of in
