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.

    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.

  • Threat of a Government Shutdown Embarrassment Will Nudge Murphy
    CAUCUS ROOM Threat of a Government Shutdown Embarrassment will Nudge Murphy Toward Sweeney/Coughlin By Guest Contributor | May 24, 2018, 2:13 pm | in Caucus Room (https://www.insidernj.com/category/caucus- room/) BY CARL GOLDEN Seemingly undaunted by his continuing inability to persuade the Democratic legislative leaders to support his $1.7 billion tax increase package, Gov. Phil Murphy plunged deeper into dangerous political waters when he intimated he’d be open to additional tax increases in the future if revenue growth fails to meet expectations and jeopardizes his ambitious agenda. Senate President Steve Sweeney (D-Gloucester) and Assembly Speaker Craig Coughlin (D-Middlesex) haven’t budged from their positions opposing the tax increases in the governor’s budget and were joined last week by Assembly Majority Leader Louis Greenwald (D-Camden) who warned the Administration there exists “no appetite” in the Legislature for raising taxes. Greenwald’s opposition is significant because, as party leader, his view reflects the consensus of his 53 Democratic colleagues. Democrats were never comfortable with Murphy’s plan to increase the income tax on those earning $1 million or more a year, restoring the sales tax to seven per cent and extending it to certain consumer services. Coming on the heels of a disappointing revenue result in April — a month traditionally relied upon for a bump in income tax collections — Murphy, by raising the possibility of seeking future tax increases, must have sent shivers through legislative Democrats fearful of a “here we go again” tax raising spree. Equally disappointing was the estimate offered by Treasurer Elizabeth Maher Muoio that revenue from now-legal sports betting when up and running would produce a puny $13 million in tax revenue.
