From the State House to Congress, Bonnie Watson Coleman dedicated her career to opening doors for others and fighting for working families. New Jersey is losing a true leader who never wavered in her commitment to doing what is right—thank you for everything.

Relieved to see that families in New Jersey will finally receive the SNAP benefits they are owed. No family should ever have to wonder where their next meal will come from, and I thank everyone who stepped up to meet the need this past week.
NJ Department of Human Services Commissioner Sarah Adelman released the following statement on New Jersey issuing fully funded November Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (#SNAP) benefits this morning:

At Englewood Health’s Asian Health and Wellness Center, doctors are connecting with patients in their own language, making care more personal, more respectful, and closer to home. This expansion means more bilingual doctors, more access for seniors, and more families getting the care they deserve.

Today’s court rulings ordering the Trump Administration to provide funding for SNAP echoes what we have been saying in New Jersey all this time, that no one should ever have to wonder where their next meal will come from. We’ll keep fighting to make sure no one goes hungry.

On November 1st, more than 800,000 New Jerseyans will wake up without the SNAP benefits they depend on because of Washington’s failure to act. We cannot allow hunger to become a casualty of partisanship; it’s a moral crisis, and one that demands immediate action.

Every month, SNAP and WIC help people in New Jersey put food on the table and provide the stability they need to get by. With uncertainty in Washington putting that support at risk, we’re watching closely and will continue to stand with those who rely on these vital programs.

The decision to walk away from the Gateway Project is deeply alarming and reprehensible, putting our commuters, businesses and workers at risk. Infrastructure projects like this benefit all of us, and we cannot turn our back on that progress.
