First and foremost, we are committed to ensuring that access to reproductive health care services remains legal, safe and accessible here in New Jersey.

With over 1 million residents struggling to put food on the table – an issue exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic – the Assembly will continue to address food insecurity on behalf of NJ families.
