Today we celebrate freedom and resilience. Juneteenth is a reminder of how far we’ve come and an acknowledgement of the painful truths of history. Today we pay tribute to the courage and humanity of those whose lives and struggles have shaped this nation.
No more fox in the henhouse! We need to reform the PJM structure so that it protects ratepayers in New Jersey!

We passed SR-85 to reaffirm a simple truth: science matters, and protecting our residents comes first.
The Trump rollback of the EPA’s Endangerment Finding ignores overwhelming scientific evidence and puts public health at risk.
Thank you @D17Senator for speaking out.

Proud to sign legislation that will accelerate progress on our clean energy goals and expand energy storage in New Jersey.
