The bill makes an $11.3 million appropriation to the Department of Education (DOE) where it will be used to raise the current security allocation from $75 to $150 per child registered in a nonpublic school. Currently, the DOE allocates $205 in security funding for every child registered in New Jersey’s public schools. Bill S3080/A4597 was introduced in the Assembly by Assemblymembers Gary Schaer, Lisa Swain and Christopher Tully, and in the Senate by Senators Joseph Lagana, Vin Gopal and Paul Sarlo. The funding may be used for security services, technology or equipment in order to “ensure a safe and secure school environment for nonpublic school students.” Ralph Zucker, chairman of Agudath Israel of America’s New Jersey office, thanked Senate Budget and Appropriation Committee Chairman Senator Paul Sarlo for his efforts. “With the horrific Pittsburgh shooting still fresh in our minds, the need to protect our children while they are in school is more apparent than ever,” said Mr.

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.

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.

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.

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.

NJ Election Update November 7, 2018 New Jersey's Gubernatorial and State Legislative Elections Are Held in Odd-Numbered Years
NJ Election Update November 7, 2018 New Jersey’s gubernatorial and state legislative elections are held in odd-numbered years. However, when Democrat Phil Murphy was sworn in to be NJ’s next Governor earlier this year, he tapped a number of lawmakers to serve in his cabinet. The vacancies these appointments created as well as other circumstances required eight special legislative elections to fill the unexpired terms of the departed lawmakers. A summary of those contests are provided below. It should be noted that all of the successful candidates have been serving as “Acting” lawmakers for most of the year and are of the same party affiliation as their predecessors. Accordingly, there are no significant changes to report in terms of composition/control of the New Jersey Legislature as a result yesterday’s special elections. Democrats continue to control the Senate (25-15) and the Assembly (54-36). Included below for your information is also a summary of the 2018 New Jersey federal elections where Democrats picked up 3 House seats and another race (CD-3) is too close to call. NJ SPECIAL ELECTION RESULTS The New Jersey State Legislature greatly shifted following last November’s State Senate and General Assembly elections, as well as some members of the Legislature leaving for the newly-formed Murphy Administration. Eight special elections were held on November 6th, alongside the congressional campaigns, to fill 10 vacant seats in the NJ Legislature. In District 38 (Bergen County), Senator Joe Lagana (D), Assemblyman Chris Tully (D), and Assemblywoman Lisa Swain (D), won their seats, with the only special election for the state’s upper house.

2017-Year-End-Political-Report.Pdf
1 Verizon Political Activity January – December 2017 A Message from Craig Silliman Verizon is affected by a wide variety of government policies -- from telecommunications regulation to taxation to health care and more -- that have an enormous impact on the business climate in which we operate. We owe it to our shareowners, employees and customers to advocate public policies that will enable us to compete fairly and freely in the marketplace. Political contributions are one way we support the democratic electoral process and participate in the policy dialogue. Our employees have established political action committees at the federal level and in 18 states. These political action committees (PACs) allow employees to pool their resources to support candidates for office who generally support the public policies our employees advocate. This report lists all PAC contributions, corporate political contributions, support for ballot initiatives and independent expenditures made by Verizon and its affiliates during 2017. The contribution process is overseen by the Corporate Governance and Policy Committee of our Board of Directors, which receives a comprehensive report and briefing on these activities at least annually. We intend to update this voluntary disclosure twice a year and publish it on our corporate website. We believe this transparency with respect to our political spending is in keeping with our commitment to good corporate governance and a further sign of our responsiveness to the interests of our shareowners. Craig L. Silliman Executive Vice President, Public Policy and General Counsel 2 Verizon Political Activity January – December 2017 Political Contributions Policy: Our Voice in the Democratic Process What are the Verizon Political Action Committees? including the setting of monetary contribution limitations and The Verizon Political Action Committees (PACs) exist to help the establishment of periodic reporting requirements.
