Eliminating an agency that fights corruption doesn’t solve a problem—it creates one.
New Jersey doesn’t suffer from too much oversight—we suffer when independent watchdogs are silenced.

With the federal government undermining public trust and weaponizing the DOJ, New Jersey should be expanding efforts to combat abuse of power—not rolling them back. I gave testimony against S4924 yesterday on that very premise—our record shows it, and the public deserves it.

The Trump Admin is again trying to take food from the tables of New Jersey families by kicking legal residents off of SNAP.
This unconscionable attempt to push families into hunger isn't just cruel, it's illegal.
We are fighting for NJ and we are suing.

This Thanksgiving, the NJ Senate is killing a gov’t watchdog that stops wasteful spending, giving politically powerful individuals broad powers to intimidate law enforcement fighting corruption & even letting them tap phones. Outrageous.
I’ll be testifying against it on Mon.

Instead of helping Americans with affordability, Trump is trying to illegally put families out on the street and block access to housing for homeless people.
We are suing the Admin. for unlawfully restricting funds that NJ relies on to provide shelter for homeless residents.

When Trump threatened to restrict funding that supports victims of domestic violence and sexual assault, we sued.
Now the Trump DOJ has backed down and agreed to drop these illegal restrictions.
We shouldn't have had to fight for this. But we did, and we won.

Everyone is required to pay their fair share of taxes. We allege that this defendant was collecting sales tax from his customers, but not paying over that money to the Division of Taxation. This form of tax fraud will not be tolerated.
