Locally, SCEA has endorsed Somerset County candidates Melonie Marano for Freeholder and Darrin Russo for Sheriff.

She will be setting up shop with pieces from Touchstone Swarovski Crystal Jewelry. A percentage of the day’s purchases will be donated to the NJREA Philanthropic Fund. This year we are asking you to bring unwrapped gifts for children who are clients of the Somerset Children's Treatment Center which is adjacent to the Somerville Elks Lodge.

If you are in contact with any recent retirees, please encourage them to join the NJREA/SCREA which is the best way to keep informed about local, state, and national issues that may impact our pension and retirement benefits.

Our scorecard rates each member of the New Jersey Senate and Assembly on their conservation record and actions taken to protect the environment in the Garden State. It does this by tracking how New Jersey’s 40 senators and 80 Assembly members voted on key legislation affecting air and water quality, open space, and the fight against climate change. As “the political voice for the environment,” New Jersey LCV uses its resources to elect environmental champions and support them in office while helping to defeat candidates and officeholders whose legislative priorities do not include air, water, and land protections. We empower legislators by providing background information before key environmental votes, and we hold legislators accountable for their positions and actions related to our environment.

  • Jefferson Van Drew
    DECEMBER 2019 GLOBE 2019 YEAR IN REVIEW NONE OF THE ABOVE WINNER OF THE YEAR BRITTANY O’NEILL OPERATIVE OF THE YEAR DONALD TRUMP’S : NEW BEST FRIEND JEFFERSON VAN DREW 2019: YEAR IN REVIEW | 1 2019: YEAR IN REVIEW | 2 NEW JERSEY GLOBE POWER LIST 2019 That removes one typically automatic Sweeney vote from the Senate Democrats, unless the senate president can convert Mike Testa into a Sweeneycan. There were also two prominent party switchers: freshman Rep. Jeff Van Drew became a Republican, and State Sen. Dawn Addiego is now a Democrat. In the year of the unlikely voter, just 27% of New Jersey voters cast their ballots in 2019 – a number that was up 5% over 2015 thanks to the state’s new vote-by-mail law that caused the participation of many New Jerseyans who would never have voted if ballots didn’t show up at their homes. A 5% increase was significant. Off-off year elections like 2019 when State Assembly candidates head the ticket happens twice every other decade, so New Jersey won’t see another one until 2035. The race for Democratic State Chairman ended in a draw – John Currie keeps the job for eighteen months, when LeRoy Jones takes over. Legislative reapportionment, which was the entire reason for the state chairman battle, gives an edge to the anti-Murphy faction – if that’s where Jones is when the new districts are drawn. Murphy continues to struggle to win the approval of New Jersey voters, yet he appears – at least right now – to have a lock on the Democratic nomination when he seeks re-election in 2021.

  • Legislative Report Card 218Th Nj Legislature 2018-2019 Dear Friends
    LEGISLATIVE REPORT CARD 218TH NJ LEGISLATURE 2018-2019 DEAR FRIENDS, I am pleased to share this report card for the 2018-2019 New Jersey state legislature. Here is a snapshot of how lawmakers voted on key social and moral legislation related to the right to life, education, family, marijuana, marriage, and other issues. Guided by our mission of building a state where God is honored, religious liberty flourishes, families thrive, and life is cherished, this report card focuses on seven bills in the New Jersey Assembly and Senate during the 2018-2019 Legislative Session. All of those bills are included in this report card. A bill is passed by a simple majority in the Senate (21 votes out of 40 senators) and the Assembly (41 votes out of 80 Assembly members.) Lawmakers earned letter grades ranging from A–F based on how they voted on all the bills. This report card is not an endorsement of any candidate or political party. It does not measure any lawmakers’ integrity, commitment to their faith, work ethic, or rapport with Family Policy Alliance of New Jersey. It is only a report on how each lawmaker voted. One of the most common questions people ask is, “How did my legislator vote?” This report card should help you answer that question. Sincerely, Shawn Hyland Director of Advocacy CONTENTS Introduction Letter 2 Vote Descriptions 4 About the Report Card 3 Legislator Votes 5-7 - 2 - ABOUT THE REPORT CARD Family Policy Alliance of New Jersey selected votes on key legislation in the New Jersey Assembly and New Jersey Senate based on our core belief in promoting, protecting, and strengthening traditional family values.
