Stay in Jersey. No Congestion Tax. 
• I announced my new “Stay in Jersey” plan to fight NY’s congestion pricing scam with a tax incentive that encourages NY-based businesses to open offices in NJ and allow employees to stay and work from here – supporting our local businesses and saving $20k a year on tolls, parking, gas, and the insane proposed congestion tax.

Most Bipartisan Democrat in America.  
• I’m proud to have once again been named the most bipartisan Democrat in America. Read at NJ.com [[link removed]] and NJ Globe [[link removed]].
• I’ll always focus on bringing all sides together with commonsense, bipartisan solutions, including my All-of-the-Above Energy plan to reduce gas prices and fight climate change. (1) Tap into existing domestic oil wells and ramp up production as soon as possible; (2) avoid oil from bad actors including Russia, Iran, and Venezuela; (3) and maximize our use of alternative energies, including wind and solar.
