April 10, 2020 the Honorable Philip D. Murphy
April 10, 2020 The Honorable Philip D. Murphy Governor of the State of New Jersey Office of the Governor Trenton, NJ 08625 Dear Governor Murphy: We write to request critically needed funding for Warren, Sussex, Hunterdon, and Salem Counties that was appropriated to New Jersey through the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act. As you are aware, these counties, and their respective municipalities, did not receive federal funding through Community Development Block Grants (CDBG) and Emergency Solutions Grants (ESG) set forth in the CARES Act utilizing long-standing, unchangeable, and automatic formulas. These formulas were set into place under the Administration of President Gerald R. Ford, in 1974 and 1977. Warren and Sussex Counties, along with Hunterdon and Salem Counties, did not meet any of the three criteria of these automatic, predetermined federal formulas: 1) counties with at least 500,000 people; 2) cities with populations more than 50,000; or 3) “principal cities,” which is a Census formula designation. That said, beyond the set formulas which are out of our control, the State of New Jersey also received certain non-entitlement funding through the CDBG (more than $4 million) and ESG (more than $11 million) programs that you can allocate based on discretionary need throughout the State, particularly to help struggling municipalities that did not receive enough relief. We believe these counties meet that requirement and ask that you please immediately allocate the discretionary funding to these localities. These four counties remain in the so-called “hot” region of the outbreak in our State and need this critical funding to get through the challenging next weeks and months.

Congress of the United States Washington, DC 20515
Congress of the United States Washington, DC 20515 January 27, 2021 Honorable Janet Yellen Secretary U.S. Department of the Treasury 1500 Pennsylvania Avenue N.W. Washington, D.C. 20220 Dear Secretary Yellen: Congratulations on your swift confirmation by the Senate. To help American families and businesses weather the brutal hardships imposed by the continuing pandemic, it is essential for Treasury and Congress to work hand-in-hand. Only close collaboration can deliver needed support for our States and citizens so we can “Build Back Better.” To commence that work, we write you today to urge you to support the immediate repeal of the State and Local Tax (SALT) Deduction cap put in place by the disastrous 2017 partisan tax hike bill. As you know, the SALT deduction has historically strengthened state and local government functions, including public health programs, safety nets for low-income residents, and emergency response services. During your confirmation hearing before the Senate Finance Committee on January 19, 2021, you rightly acknowledged the burden on the shoulders of our states and the need to help to keep essential frontline public workers on the job.1 Unfortunately, according to the December 2020 Bureau of Labor Statistics Employment Situation Report, government employment overall is down by 1.3 million jobs since February 2020 when the pandemic exploded.2 The data shows that these layoffs are unfortunately concentrated most among those who educate our children, protect our cities and towns, and keep our communities clean. While New Jersey has done herculean work to prevent job losses in these critical services, our state has borne the brunt of the pandemic by cutting the government workforce by 4.8% from November 2019 to November 2020.3 These workers serve essential roles, and their job losses are further holding back our recovery.

House Support for Medicare for All Growing but Still Needs to Catch up with Voters Last Updated March 22, 2021
House Support for Medicare for All Growing But Still Needs to Catch Up with Voters Last updated March 22, 2021 Support for Medicare for All in the House of Representatives has grown in recent years. On March 17, 2021, Reps. Pramila Jayapal and Debbie Dingell introduced the Medicare for All Act of 2021 with a record 112 original cosponsors. The Medicare for All Act of 2019 (H.R. 1384) ended the 116th Congress with a total of 118 cosponsors and four congressional hearings. However, Members of Congress are still far behind the general public. While only one in four House Members have cosponsored the Medicare or All Act, voters consistently favor Medicare for All in public polling. This gap between Members and their constituents shows up in all the key committees that may consider Medicare for All in the House. Strong and Growing Public Support for Medicare for All Support for Medicare for All is strong across the country. A national exit poll from the 2020 general election found that 72 percent of Americans are in favor of switching to a government-run healthcare plan like Medicare for All. A Kaiser Family Foundation tracking poll found that Medicare or All consistently had majority support from June 2017 to January 2020. The COVID-19 pandemic has increased support for Medicare for All. A Morning Consult poll found that “more than two in ﬁve U.S. adults say the outbreak has increased their likelihood of supporting universal health care proposals where the government would provide all Americans with health insurance,” including one in four Republicans and 34 percent of independents.

Congress of the United States Washington, DC 20515
Congress of the United States Washington, DC 20515 July 22, 2021 Hon. Nuria Fernandez Administrator, Federal Transit Administration 1200 New Jersey Avenue SE Washington, DC 20590 Dear Administrator Fernandez: In the midst of a global pandemic, New York is attempting to buck long-standing conventional fund- sharing standards to short change its neighboring states. Since the outset of the COVID-19 pandemic, Congress has acted three times to appropriate emergency funding to transit agencies. Following the first of these allocations, New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut acted quickly to determine their respective shares of the federal investment according to Federal Transit Administration (FTA) guidance. Now, however, federal investment from the second and third rounds of assistance is held up because of New York’s attempt to unilaterally implement a new fund-sharing standard to appropriate itself a larger share of federal resources, threatening hundreds of millions of dollars of transit assistance allocated by Congress for New Jersey and Connecticut. We are requesting that the FTA reaffirm its current guidance regarding the sub-allocation of Urbanized Area Formula Program (UAFP) funds for metropolitan areas spanning multiple states. In particular, in light of a new and unilateral funding formula promoted by the New York Department of Transportation, we request that the FTA reaffirm its longstanding guidance regarding the sub-allocation of $14.2 billion made available via the UAFP for the New York-Newark, NY-NJ-CT area. These resources are part of the Coronavirus Response and Relief Supplemental Appropriations (CRRSA) Act1 and the American Rescue Plan (ARP) Act.2 The bipartisan Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act,3 enacted by Congress in March 2020, allocated $22.7 billion to transit agencies to help to prevent, prepare for, and respond to the COVID-19 pandemic via the UAFP, including more than $5.4 billion to the New York-Newark, NY-NJ- CT area.
