Spoke to Boys State at Rider University. 800 high students learning about State government. I told the students don’t be a “sound bite warrior”. Discuss the issue and the policy.

I shared the stage with the incomparable Colleen O'Dea for this event last night and the kids asked us great Qs about the media. No, I will NOT share which clickbait-y story posted on [redacted] I ended up trashing three times.
It was an honor to host you and @terrencemcd for such a great discussion on the role of the media!

Replying to @AmericanLegion
@AmericanLegion has recognized February as Americanism Month since 1960, following the passing of Resolution No. 163 at the national convention in Miami Beach, Fla. Boys Nation and the 50 Boys State programs fall under the Legion's Americanism pillar. legion.org/youthprograms/254…

I am grateful, from the bottom of my heart, to @GovMurphy for the trust he has placed in me. And thank you to my good friend @NewJerseyOAG Andrew Bruck for his exemplary service to the state. I will work tirelessly to protect the 9m residents who call this great state home.
Honored to nominate @mattplatkin to serve as the 62nd Attorney General of the State of New Jersey. As I look toward the upcoming four years, I know that as Attorney General, Matt will stand up for our New Jersey values and keep the office, and our state, moving forward.

In 1976, @ALBoysNation and @ALAGirlsNation held a combined 18-day session in D.C. as the country celebrated the bicentennial. Our countdown to #BoysNation75 continues: legion.org/boysnation/252822…

This would have been the fifth annual American Legion Jersey Boys State. You've come a long way, @ALJBS! Glad to have you at @RiderUniversity since 1969! (borrowed from "A Visit to Vineland" Facebook page.)
