Cost! New Jersey spends more than it collects in revenue. We currently suffer from the highest property taxes and, at 11.5%, the highest corporate tax in the country. Without immediately addressing these two issues, the state will have little chance of recovery. We must cap property tax increases at 2% and start reducing the corporate tax by 1% yearly for the next five years. The state budget must be reduced by 30% and capped at inflation. Corporate tax credits to various entities total $1.5 billion and must be reevaluated. $700M in “pork” spending must be scrutinized. One million illegal immigrants have poured into the Garden State under the Murphy administration, costing the NJ taxpayer $7B per year to provide food, housing, clothing, transportation, medical services, K-12 education, college financial aid and legal services. This costs each NJ family almost $3000 per year. Consolidate state agencies. All will slow the population exodus from the state.
Parental rights are fundamental to a free society. Parents, not politicians, should have the final say in their children’s education and healthcare. No secrets should be kept from parents, and moms and dads must never be barred from information about their child’s health, well-being, or educational progress. I’ll always fight to protect parental rights because strong families are the foundation of a strong democracy.
Lack of voter integrity threatens democracy. I support voter ID; only US/NJ citizens vote in elections. I support a state holiday for one day of in-person voting, paper ballots, and the elimination of voter drop boxes. I also support reregistering to vote every five years to ensure voter integrity.
The lack of law and order threatens democracy. I will back the police and also work to end cashless bail.
The state student curriculum must focus on academics, American greatness, merit, and inspire personal achievement—activism in the curriculum threatens democracy.
Cut costs, increase revenue, separate the "must haves" from the "nice to haves."
Cap property tax increases at 2%, reduce corporate tax 1% each year for 5 years, reduce the state budget by 30% and cap increases to inflation, eliminating $1B in tax credits where we are negative. Reduce the $720M "pork" spending to only infrastructure improvement, DOGE NJ financial systems to reduce waste, fraud and corruption and to audit unelected boards and commission, reduce personal income taxes across the board, cancel the offshore wind project, saving $6B dollars, repatriate one million illegal aliens, saving $7B/year, limit all future spending increases to rate of inflaction, consolodate the 500 state agencies, fix pension to offer a 401k style pension. Create an Office of Artificial Intelligence to make NJ a leader in applying technology to efficient government. These steps will attract new businesses, create jobs, increase wages, lower costs, and put more money in the pockets of NJ families.
The formula must provide equal treatment across districts. Currently, some school districts are "more equal" than others. This disparity leads to teacher layoffs, the selling of school properties, significant increases in property taxes, and financial chaos in many districts. At the same time, others are overflowing with cash, spending millions on catering, take-outs and travel. The formula must be redefined and, in parallel, validated with artificial intelligence. Districts must provide data showing clear metrics of fiscal responsibility, student progress, growth and advancement. This will become a factor fed into the formula.
New Jersey taxpayers are being crushed by the cost associated with the influx of a million illegal immigrants. The price is estimated to be well over $7.3B per year. The New Jersey taxpayer provides food, housing, clothing, medical services, transportation, K-12 education, financial aid to NJ colleges, emergency care and legal costs. This adds an estimated $2500 cost to each family and $1600 per worker.
At the same time, illegal aliens have been responsible for some of the worst crimes resulting in death, rape and crimes against children too heinous to put into paper in a public forum. Hidden from the public, it put us all at risk. These crimes were avoidable. The perpetrator should have never been should not have been on Jersey soil in the first place.
I support the current policy. Individuals who are felons and have warrants signed by a judge with a signed final notice of deportation must leave.

New Jersey is on the right track, but the main issue that we continue to deal with is affordability in the state. People continue to see their property taxes go up as they pay more to stay in towns they’ve long called home. Healthcare remains a massive issue for our state, with people paying more and more for coverage that covers less and less. We also see housing becoming more and more unaffordable, with a severe lack of workforce housing in our state contributing to young professionals choosing to leave New Jersey at an alarming rate. It's become harder to call New Jersey home, and I am committed to helping fix that.
I have long championed efforts to make voting more accessible, from expanding mail-in voting to removing barriers faced by individuals with disabilities. We continue to make strides like the creation of in-person early voting, something I just recently helped expand to 6 days this upcoming election. I also wrote the law on the New Jersey Civic Information Consortium, strengthening local news and promoting transparency in our communities. I’ll continue fighting to increase participation and ensure every New Jerseyan has a voice in our democracy.
We must continue to build up "eds and meds" corridor, investing in top level education to build up New Jersey, and then keep the smartest minds in the nation in our state. By investing in our youth and the services around them, were working to stop the "brain drain" and keep New Jerseyans at home to contribute for our state. In keeping a strong workforce, we're continuing to lure companies to New Jersey that will strengthen our economy.
We must continue building up business in our state, while also working to keep New Jersey's finances strong. With a continued commitment to funding our pension, paying our debts, and keeping our surplus, we continue to see our credit rating rise and our economy grow.
In my time as Majority Leader, I've continued to ensure that we see record funding going to our public education, making New Jersey Schools #1 in the nation. This investment is rooted in a belief that every child deserves a high-quality, equitable education that sets them up for success. Still, too many districts face uncertainty due to flaws in the school funding formula. I’m committed to reforming the state's school funding formula, and using lessons from my time in office I will ensure this reform makes school funding more equitable, predictable, and sustainable
Immigrants are a crucial part of our community, growing New Jersey's diversity and helping us prosper. I am committed to defending immigrant rights to ensure they are treated with dignity and respect. As federal attacks continue, I will work to safeguard immigrant communities by supporting policies that defend their contributions and keep our families together.

One of the most pressing challenges facing New Jersey in 2025 is affordability, especially in housing and the cost of living for working families. Expanding the ANCHOR property tax relief program is a key step in providing more aid to middle class homeowners and renters who are struggling with rising costs. I also fully support the StayNJ program, which offers vital property tax relief to seniors, helping them remain in their homes. Additionally, I am committed to funding universal pre-K in the state. By easing one of the biggest financial burdens for working families, we can ensure that all children have access to early education while helping parents manage their expenses. Supporting these programs is essential to making New Jersey more affordable and ensuring that all residents have the opportunity to thrive.
New Jersey has made strides in expanding access to voting through measures like in-person early voting and greater availability of mail-in ballots. However, I believe we must pass legislation that safeguards these rights and ensures no future leader can undermine the voting rights of citizens which is why I signed on to cosponsor the John R. Lewis Voter Empowerment Act, which aims to combat discriminatory policies and ensure equitable access for all voters. I also support initiatives that enhance ballot access, protect voters from intimidation, and provide language assistance to ensure everyone can participate in the democratic process. Additionally, I support creating a centralized online portal for real-time election data, building on the 2023 law signed by Governor Murphy that enhances transparency by requiring ongoing vote tally updates until all ballots are counted and the election is certified.
As a former small business owner, I understand the critical role small businesses play in New Jersey's economy. They provide jobs for over 2 million people and drive innovation and growth across various sectors. With nearly 953,000 small businesses in the state, representing over 99% of all businesses, it’s essential we continue to support them. I am committed to advocating for bills like A4749, which ensures the New Jersey Business Action Center offers key resources to help small businesses navigate regulations and access financial assistance. I also support measures like A573, which streamlines construction inspections, A4750, which creates a public commercial space database, and A4753, which provides a 30-day window for businesses to address non-health and safety violations. These legislative efforts are designed to reduce obstacles, promote growth, and ensure small businesses thrive in New Jersey’s competitive environment.
Having worked as a special education teacher, I understand the need for equitable education funding. New Jersey has increased K-12 education spending by 49%, with every dollar now equating to $1.49. This demonstrates our commitment to providing the resources students need for success. We’ve also invested significantly in early education, pre-K, higher education, and workforce development, including community colleges and vocational training.
I will advocate for continued improvements to the funding formula, building on the S2 Act, which fully implemented the SFRA formula. The SFRA ensures that funding is distributed based on actual student needs, directing more resources to districts facing greater challenges. Going forward, I will continue to support measures to ensure that funding is distributed fairly across districts, so that every student has the opportunity to succeed, regardless of where they live.
As a legislator, I am proud of the steps the New Jersey Legislature has taken to support immigrants and protect their rights. One of the most important actions has been the codification of the NJ Immigrant Trust Directive through the NJ Immigrant Trust Act, which ensures the protection and dignity of all immigrants, regardless of their documentation status. This law builds trust between immigrant communities and local law enforcement by limiting cooperation with federal immigration enforcement, providing lasting protection against political shifts. I also support policies like providing in-state tuition for undocumented students, recognizing their vital role in New Jersey’s economy.
