    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.

  • The Women's Project Resource Guide.Pdf
    THE WOMEN’S PROJECT HEALTH RESOURCE GUIDE The Women’s Project is funded by Providing court-involved women with excellence in integrated healthcare and employment services. 1 Women in prison have long suffered because prisons and jails have often been designed by men for men. In addition, women’s healthcare—as applies to medical, behavioral, including mental health and addiction, and particularly OB/GYN—has often been ignored at best or at worst been a source of maltreatment and malfeasance. We are most grateful to the strong leadership and support of Senate President Stephen Sweeney and Assembly Speaker Craig Coughlin or their sponsorship and ongoing support of the Women’s Reentry Commission. Thank you to Governor Murphy for his commitment to reentry, supporting legislative enactments that expand reentry accountability, and providing for greater prisoner releases during the Public Health Emergency. Particularly, we are indebted to the members of the Commission, who have steered The Women’s Project to today’s resource directory, integrated healthcare delivery system, and navigation & case management referral. Through the clear and powerful support of women’s state legislative leadership, the Women’s Reentry Commission Report was issued as a critical pathway toward improving the conditions for women in prison and upon reentry. The Women’s Project is an outgrowth of that report, specifically answering the need for integrated women’s healthcare. The Resource Guide provides a comprehensive survey of medical, mental health, and addiction treatment services in each of the eight (8) New Jersey Reentry Corporation county sites. Working with the leadership of The Women’s Reentry Commission, NJRC case management staff, and our women’s health navigators, our goal is to provide the best healthcare for women leaving incarceration and reentering the general community.

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.

  • Your Help Is VITAL
    4/19/2019 Township of Greenbrook Mail - Your help is VITAL Patrick Boccio <[email protected]> Your help is VITAL 1 message Stephen Reid <[email protected]> Thu, Aug 16, 2018 at 3:24 PM Reply-To: [email protected] To: [email protected] Dear NJ-RAMP Advocate, We need you, now! We are quickly approaching a crucial situation with regard to the legislation to legalize marijuana in New Jersey. The legislature will return in September and this will be the major issue on the docket as Senate leadership hope to have a bill ready for the Governor to sign by late October. As the only group united in the fight against legalized marijuana in the state, NJ- RAMP will continue to lead this opposition effort with the support of all of our advocacy partners such as you! To do so, we must be focused on the following goals: Educate members of the Senate Judiciary Committee on the dangers of moving such legislation and negative impact it will have on NJ communities through one-on-one meetings Use NJ-RAMP spokespeople to impact legislative decisions through op- eds, testimony at hearings, public events, etc. Rally our grassroots in opposition to legalized marijuana through targeted media ads, events and other communications platforms Toward this end we will be developing a number of outreach initiatives that we will need your support on in the coming weeks. The first event, that can help turn the tide, is a Council meeting in Linden on August 21 where Councilman Peter Brown will attempt to pass a law to ban dispensaries in Linden.

  • Introduction Lobbying and Advocacy
    Introduction This Legislative Handbook is designed to provide guidance and assistance to representatives of the New Jersey Association of Mental Health and Addiction Agencies, Inc. (NJAMHAA) member organizations who participate in legislative activities. Specifically, the Legislative Handbook presents the Association’s legislative policy and procedures, simplifies the complexities of the legislative process, and provides an orientation to grassroots lobbying for all members. On behalf of its members, NJAMHAA meets with legislators, policy makers and business leaders in order to influence legislative, regulatory and funding decisions in ways that have the most positive outcome on its members. Through increased visibility and a stronger presence, NJAMHAA ensures that members’ concerns are expressed and that their interests are represented. This allows members the peace of mind of knowing that legislative or regulatory changes that are made will occur with their views expressed. NJAMHAA is committed to facilitating meaningful exchange both within the Association and with other industry stakeholders to achieve mutual advocacy. While NJAMHAA aggressively lobbies state and federal legislators on behalf of its members, these lawmakers need to hear from you, their local constituents, those who elect them. The louder and stronger the voice, the more impact that it has on all who hear it. Please use and refer back to this valuable resource to familiarize yourself with legislative advocacy procedures and to contact key legislators to collectively join other NJAMHAA members in advancing the cause for an improved community behavioral health system. Lobbying and Advocacy Oftentimes, the words “lobbying” and “advocacy” are used interchangeably. The legal definition of lobbying usually involves attempting to influence legislation.

  • Honor Final Draft
    Advocating for Students with Exceptional Needs in Public Education By: Cassandra Fenton Project Description When creating this project, my goal was to combine my knowledge and experiences from my major in political science and my participation in the teacher certification program. To that end, this project is a political activism campaign that seeks to empower those in the education field, specially advocates for students with exceptional needs, to exercise their political voice. I have too often felt the sentiment of disenfranchisement by those are not actively involved in politics. In order to address this negative perception of politics and government, my project strives to inform professionals in the education field of their ability and right to exercise their political voice. Those in the field are the most equipped to advise policy surrounding special education, and this expertise can be of great use for politicians. The primary component of my project are two issue letters that can be sent to representatives to advocate for the rights of students with exceptional needs. The first letter tackles the issue of lack of adequate funding for special education by the state. The second letter addresses the general disrespect for the teaching profession as well many of the obstacles teachers must overcome to educate their students effectively. While these letters can be sent as is, they are meant to inspire professionals in the field to share their own expertise with their representatives. I have also included a graph to demonstrate that a vote carries more weight at lower levels of government, for which less people come out to vote, as opposed to the highest offices, which attract the greatest voter turnout.

    New Jersey Senate Republicans State House P.O. Box 099 Trenton, NJ 08625 Phone: (609) 847-3600 Fax: (609) 984-8148 Senatenj.com August 7, 2020 Joseph L. Fiordaliso President Board of Public Utilities 44 S Clinton Ave. Trenton, NJ 08625 Dear President Fiordaliso, As you are well aware, New Jersey was recently hit by Tropical Storm Isaias. While the storm initially knocked out power to nearly 1.5 million residents, it is our understanding that days later, hundreds of thousands of New Jerseyans are still without power. This is one of several storms over the past several years that has caused widespread power outages and wreckage throughout the state. We commend the hardworking men and women who have come from all over to help New Jersey rebuild after this storm. We appreciate the efforts of everyone working night and day to bring power back to the hundreds of thousands of homes still without power, but we must do more. We must demand accountability from the utility companies, and ensure that plans are put in place to prevent mass power outages like this from occurring in the future. We write to ask you and the entire Board of Public Utilities to take swift action to require utility companies in the state to create emergency response plans to ensure a fast and effective response to storms. Further, it is critical that utilities begin to take proactive actions that will help prevent any disruption in service in the first place. Finally, we ask that you require the implementation of emergency communications plans so the residents of New Jersey are informed of power outages, updates, and other critical information in a timely manner.
