BREAKING: Phil Murphy wins New Jersey’s Governor race; Statement from Murphy

The following is a statement from the new Governor-elect:

Hello,

I want to thank you.

I’m truly honored and humbled to be the next Governor of New Jersey, especially knowing you are the reason why I am here.

When we started this journey together 18 months ago, I never could have imagined how many of you would volunteer your time, chip in whatever you could afford, and sacrifice so much for this shared victory. And I truly cannot thank you enough for your support, and your conviction.

Without you, friend, this would not have been possible. You helped send a message that we are united — and that together we’ll end the failed status quo in Trenton by creating a stronger, fairer economy that works for every New Jersey family.

So, now it is time to get to work. Together, we can do this. I believe in you and all the people living in our great state — and I promise I’ll always have your back.

Thank you,

Phil

Besides taxes and marijuana, why else should we care if a democrat like him is in office? (Marriage doesn’t make a difference anymore).

no busing for private schools—those companies boycotting Israel get an ok do to so—New Jersey will be the next sanctuary state–and higher taxes–other than those things…………

At least all of us on JerseyCare don’t have to worry that he will try to do to us what Christie tried. That would have devastated anyone who can’t afford the 10,000+ that private insurance costs

NJ already is a sanctuary state. That’s why there is affordable cleaning help, that’s why construction Vista a fraction of what it costs in Red states, that’s why our storws can keep expenses down

Unreal. I cant imagine anything in NJ improving in the next few yrs. BH, I was blessed with a special needs child, so I need good insurance, which will go up in January ’18 to over $3,000 a month, and the more dems get voted in as governors, senators and congressman, the less channce I have that ObamaCare will be repealed. Oh well. Its all part of H-shems plan and we all need to accept it. Period. Thx again, TLS, for excellent coverage of the elections, local and statewide.
