I am deeply saddened by the passing of Lt. Gov. Sheila Oliver. Sheila was a trailblazer, and an unwavering champion for the most vulnerable, for women's rights, education, public safety & equality. Her legacy will shine on. My thoughts & prayers are with her family.

ICYM - NJ is investing $2.5M to raise awareness about the work authorization application process & provide application support, and creating two new web portals to help connect migrant arrivals to job opportunities and employers to migrant arrivals who are looking for work.

I joined a bipartisan group of state leaders from across the country today at the The White House to discuss the need to work together to welcome and support New Americans. Strong state & federal coordination is essential for our newest residents to work toward the American Dream.

Spent a few days in DC w colleagues at the #ONANetwork, learning & sharing innovative ways to ensure our communities are welcoming to all new Americans who make our states their home. State/Fed partnerships are key to our success. Incredibly proud of the growth of this network.

The Thanksgiving meals that we are preparing for tonight would not be possible without the immigrant workers that harvested, picked, packaged and helped get them to our tables. Thank you, immigrant workers! #Thanksgiving #WeFeedYou

Glad to see President Donald J. Trump take executive action to grant work permits to undocumented spouses of U.S. citizens. We must continue expanding opportunities for those who seek a better life by establishing a clear path to citizenship for our undocumented neighbors.

I am outraged by the unjust arrest of Newark Mayor Ras Baraka earlier this afternoon outside of Delaney Hall in Newark. I am calling for his immediate release by federal law enforcement.

I condemn in the strongest terms the targeted shootings of two elected officials and their spouses in Minnesota. Political violence is an attack on our democracy. Impersonating law enforcement to carry it out is sickening. The perpetrator must be brought to justice.
