Friend,
Last week, Governor Murphy issued an executive order calling for residents to wear masks outside when social distancing is not possible. The mask order is backed by science and supported by the vast majority of New Jerseyans, who understand the seriousness of this situation. And yet, Trenton Republicans and other like minded politicians have spent the last few days loudly and publicly opposing the use of masks.
In doing so, these politicians are revealing just how out of touch they are with the majority of residents. Rather than put the health and safety of New Jerseyans first, Republicans have consistently been wrong and reckless [[link removed]] in their partisan response to the pandemic. From embracing conspiracy theories and unproven treatments, to calling for businesses to reopen too soon, to now opposing a mask order that health experts say can help stop the spread of the virus [[link removed]] .
In short, Trenton Republicans are playing the same kind of political games that led to the massive spikes in new COVID-19 cases we’re seeing throughout the country by following President Trump's lead and ignoring the pandemic.
There’s a reason New Jersey is one of only three states currently on track to contain COVID-19 [[link removed]] -- it’s because Governor Murphy’s approach is working. If Governor Murphy had caved to Republican threats there is little doubt that more people would have gotten sick and more businesses would have suffered -- but the Governor put science and data first and New Jersey is now a national leader in combatting the pandemic.
Trenton Republicans, enough is enough. It’s time we listen to science and New Jerseyans to put the mask debate to rest.
Thank you,
