I strongly condemn the Islamophobic remarks made by U.S. Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard about our Muslim community in the great city of Paterson

This type of religious hate and bigotry has absolutely no place in our nation.
Tulsi Gabbard’s comments targeting Paterson’s Muslim community are reckless, false, and dangerous.

This kind of fearmongering has real consequences. Targeting Americans because of their faith is unacceptable, un-American, and will not be tolerated in New Jersey.
Tulsi Gabbard's dangerous attempt to sow fear, pit people against each other, and smear the Muslim Americans of Paterson, NJ is dishonest, cruel, and un-American – it endangers an entire community. In Jersey, we know our state's diversity is our strength and we stand up for our own.

We are anticipating light snow tonight into Tuesday morning, primarily in North Jersey.

Be mindful of slippery roads during the morning commute and stay safe, New Jersey!

We are thrilled to share that we’ve exceeded 200,000 approved housing permits – more than the last four gubernatorial administrations.

Through the NJDCA, we are delivering on our promise to expand housing supply and provide more opportunity for families to plant roots in the Garden State.

Today also marks 13 years since 26 innocent lives were taken in an act of senseless gun violence at Sandy Hook Elementary School.

From holding gun manufacturers accountable to passing commonsense gun safety legislation, we remain committed to leading the fight toward a safer future.

I am horrified by the cowardly terrorist attack that took place during a Hanukkah celebration at Bondi Beach, resulting in the loss of 11 innocent lives and additional injuries, including to law enforcement.

Antisemitism must be condemned forcefully and unequivocally.

Great to be back at the Rutgers University Big Chill 5k — the first 5k I ran as Gov-elect in 2017! 🏃

With 38 days remaining in office, we are — literally — running through the tape.

Today, we broke ground on Carteret’s Multimodal Ferry Terminal – a multi-purpose, multi-level, terminal that will redefine what a waterfront city can be.

For generations, this land belonged to industry, closed off to the community. Now, it belongs to the people of Carteret.

President Trump’s attempt to interfere with state-based AI regulations will hamper our efforts to improve government services and attract new investment and jobs.

Nice to catch up with Briana Vannozzi and the team at @njspotlightnews.org.

We had a chance to reflect on my Administration’s proudest accomplishments over the past eight years – including our investments in property tax relief, school funding, the pension system, energy, and health care.

On the sixth anniversary of the Jersey City terrorist attacks, we remember the innocent victims, including Det. Joseph Seals, whose lives were tragically taken in an act of antisemitic violence.

Today, we came together at St. Therese of Lisieux Church in Cresskill to commemorate the life of one of New Jersey’s greatest champions, longtime Bergen County Surrogate Michael Dressler.

Michael was a dear friend and the best big brother Bergen County could ask for. He will be deeply missed.

For 31 years, Superintendent Colonel Callahan has served the people of New Jersey with an unwavering commitment to the core values of the New Jersey State Police: Honor, Duty, and Fidelity.

He has been an indispensable member of my Cabinet and I wish him the best on a well-deserved retirement.
