With the entire Legislature on the ballot in less than two weeks, Democrats and Republicans are recommitting to their parties’ core policy issues.

Senate Republicans recently released a “Roadmap for a Better New Jersey,” which laid out their legislative agenda if they were to win the majority of seats in the Nov. 7 elections. The Republican issues range from parental rights to public safety and taxes, to reverse what the party believes is Democratic Gov. Phil Murphy’s “far-left progressive agenda.”

“There’s issue after issue where Democrats have failed. And I believe strongly that there’s a real appetite out there on behalf of New Jersey voters to give Republicans a chance at leadership. I really think we stand a shot at that,” said Sen. Anthony Bucco (R-Morris) in an interview with NJ Spotlight News.

In the same interview, Sen. Declan O’Scanlon (R-Monmouth) said, “It’s important to note that many of the financial problems that this state faces are directly the result of these progressive policies. … All of these things have a direct impact on people’s lives and they all have a direct impact on their pocketbooks. That’s why New Jersey is becoming more and more and more unaffordable, and why inflation is eating away at folks.”
