Make your contribution now and help Gothamist thrive in 2023.New Jersey Gov. Phil Murphy will deliver his State of the State address Tuesday to a crowd of lawmakers at the Statehouse for the first time in three years — after two years of remote addresses due to the coronavirus pandemic.
He's expected to talk about efforts to advance equity and opportunity for New Jersey workers, political analysts say. He’ll likely draw contrasts between progress in New Jersey and obstructive politicking in Washington. In the days leading up to the address, he’s highlighted ways New Jersey has protected abortion rights and restricted gun access in the face of conservative U.S. Supreme Court decisions.
“He's not encumbered by an election in front of him,” Micah Rasmussen, director of the Rebovich Institute for New Jersey Politics at Rider University, said. “And so this is really an opportunity to define what he wants to do when he grows up, what he wants to be — and what he wants to accomplish.”Murphy closed out 2022’s address pledge movement toward “a New Jersey rich with opportunity for all willing to work hard, which is just ahead of us.”, Murphy said he’d been practicing the address.
“Our expectation is that this is largely going to be sort of building on commitments that have already been made, and investments that have been put in,” he said.
