Congratulations, Governor Sherrill!
This is a truly historic and joyous day for New Jersey.

As I leave the State House for the last time as Governor, I am proud to say we are leaving our children a state that is better than we found it. A New Jersey that is stronger, fairer, and more responsible.

Eight years ago today, I stood on stage and took the oath as the 56th Governor of New Jersey.

Today, I signed legislation creating new oversight and establishing new transparency requirements for charter schools.
Together, we are setting a higher standard for charter schools and giving the NJ Dept. of Education greater authority to hold them accountable to taxpayers and communities.

Before I entered office, the last time New Jersey received a credit rating upgrade was in 2005.
In the past three years, we have secured NINE credit rating upgrades. By contrast, the prior administration had 11 credit rating downgrades.

At a time when New Jersey is ascendant, there is only one thing that can stand in our way – and that is ourselves.
We cannot repeat the mistakes of the past. That is why, when I entered office in 2018, I promised to turn things around as Governor.

When the Supreme Court launched an unprecedented assault on reproductive rights, we — in New Jersey — fought back.
Months before the Court issued its dreadful Dobbs decision, we took action and codified the right to abortion.

We were told that reforming a broken criminal justice system would jeopardize public safety, and what did we do?
We reduced New Jersey’s prison population to its lowest levels in decades — AND brought homicides and shootings down to record lows at the same time.
