Friend, 

First, Governor Murphy inherited a precarious financial situation. Under the previous administration, New Jersey received 11 credit downgrades — meaning the major financial institutions had little trust in the financial trajectory of the state. 

Then, Phil got to work making full pension payments, paying down the state’s debts, crafting responsible budgets, prioritizing long-term fiscal health over short-term gains, and rebuilding trust in the state’s finances. 

Now, New Jersey has received 7 credit upgrades over the past 14 months. Governor Murphy has been running a tight ship, and the results speak for themselves. New Jersey is headed in the right direction again. 

At the end of the day, while these credit ratings are a great vote of confidence for Governor Murphy’s leadership, the real benefit is that they’re saving taxpayers money. 

We’re proud to have an adult in the room in Trenton who’s looking out for our financial security here in New Jersey. Add your name now to thank Governor Murphy for all his hard work on behalf of the taxpayers of our state:

Thanks for your support, 

Stronger Fairer Forward
