I have some exciting news, folks: New Jersey just received our eighth credit upgrade since I took office — raising our rating from A to A+!

Unlike the prior administration, which had 11 credit rating downgrades, we have made real, lasting progress for the people of this state through steady, responsible leadership and a commitment to doing what’s right for taxpayers.

You may be wondering how this will affect you and your family, so let me explain: This means that we will be able to make even more investments in the services and opportunities that help working families succeed, such as stronger public schools, safer neighborhoods, affordable health care, and more jobs right here at home.

For decades, administrations of both parties have avoided New Jersey’s toughest fiscal challenges, letting costs pile up and debt grow unchecked. But not us.

We made the tough choices to pay down debt, fully fund our pensions, and enact real reforms to restore trust in government. Those efforts have paid off — not just on paper, but for the millions of taxpayers who will now pay lower costs for everyday goods.

Together, we have turned the fiscal ship around and ensured that New Jersey’s economy will remain strong for years to come. If you’re ready to continue delivering for taxpayers across the state, add your name today to support this work →

Thanks for building with us.
