362,000 marijuana cases already expunged. Thousands more to come.
With our new cannabis laws, we are turning the page on the failed War on Drugs and ensuring social justice here in New Jersey.

Essex County Mosquito Control crews are hand spraying flooded areas in Millburn and Maplewood today and tomorrow to prevent an increase in the mosquito population due to Hurricane Ida. #EssexCounty #PuttingEssexCountyFirst

News12 interviewed me about Essex County not being eligible for FEMA's aid. Essex was devastating by Hurricane Ida. I am working with the Governor, our Senators and Congressional reps to get Essex included. #EssexCounty #PuttingEssexCountyFirst

New Jersey is the quintessential union state, and we’ll continue to honor the legacy of organized labor by fighting for the wages, benefits, and dignity that working families deserve. #LaborDay
Wayne L. Richardson retweeted
There is potential for heavy rain in parts of New Jersey tomorrow afternoon into tomorrow night. With grounds still saturated from Ida and rivers running high, rain brings the potential for flooding. Please stay safe and never drive through flooded areas.
Have a safe and happy Labor Day everyone!

“We’re still not out of the woods.”
New Jersey Gov. Phil Murphy joins us to discuss recovery efforts in the wake of Ida’s destruction. “Our death toll has climbed to 25 overnight and we have at least six missing across the state,” @GovMurphy says.
