Team,

Last Friday, I grabbed a drink at Tres Agaves Mexican & Peruvian Fusion in Garfield with Carolina, a first-time business owner who opened her doors thanks in part to the changes we made to New Jersey’s outdated liquor license laws.

I love getting to visit local businesses across New Jersey — not just to celebrate the wins, but to listen. I asked Carolina what inspired her to open her restaurant’s doors, what challenges she’s still facing, and how we can keep building a state that works for working people.

And honestly? I wish I could grab a drink with every single one of you. Hear your stories. Ask what’s on your mind. Learn how I can keep showing up for New Jersey families and small business owners.

Since I can’t be everywhere at once, my team put together this quick survey. If we were sitting down for a drink — what would you want me to know?

Thanks for taking a minute to respond,

— Phil
