Senator Michael Testa

Today, I had the privilege of meeting retired police & firefighters to hear firsthand about the daily challenges as rising costs continue to eat up their fixed incomes. Their stories reinforce why we Legislators must continue working toward a solution under the Gold Dome.

What a joy to be at the ribbon cutting of a new restaurant, Runway 28, located in the Millville Airport complex. We wish Stephen & Priscilla Meyer continued success and congratulate them for their continued goal to serve our communities.

Agriculture is the backbone of NJ, supporting jobs and feeding families across the state and nation. 🍅🌽 @SenatorTesta visited Ferrari Farm in Vineland, a proud family business. Supporting local farmers means protecting the industry that keeps the Garden State the Garden State.

Governor Sherrill promised affordability and transparency. Instead, she delivered another budget negotiated behind closed doors and released at the last minute. New Jersey families deserve better than broken promises and backroom politics.

Late night in Trenton where our members stood up for transparency & accountability. Taxpayers were promised a better budget process. Instead, they got another budget negotiated behind closed doors and rushed through at the last minute. New Jersey deserves better.

🚨 72 hours until a government shutdown. Where's the budget? We're ready and waiting. Trenton Democrats are still negotiating a $60 billion budget behind closed doors with your tax dollars. ⏳

It's Saturday... and New Jersey still doesn't have a budget. 💰 The money is there for tax relief, fully funded schools, and the priorities that matter most to our families. It's time for Democrats to end the backroom deals and put taxpayers first. @SenatorTesta

This recognition serves as a meaningful way to honor the innumerable sacrifices made by Vietnam Veterans and acknowledge the unseen wounds of their courageous service. senatenj.com/m/newsflash/ho…

Gov Sherrill & Dems are cutting these programs while increasing funding for illegal aliens. While they found $20M for illegal aliens, they cut $1M for programs that help patients battling serious health conditions. When NJ families are struggling, these are the choices Dems make.

By increasing this yearly deduction and indexing it for inflation going forward, we are protecting veterans’ purchasing power, especially for seniors living on fixed incomes. senatenj.com/m/newsflash/ho…

First Anheuser-Busch. Then Exxon. Now Samsung. How many more companies have to leave before Trenton gets the message? If we want families to afford a home, young professionals to stay, and businesses to invest in NJ, we our our Republican policies that create jobs & lower costs.

The brave men and women of law enforcement, both state and federal, deserve our gratitude for standing their ground to protect peaceful protesters, nearby residents, and public safety in the face of escalating unrest from violent agitators. senatenj.com/m/newsflash/ho…

Today we celebrated the Leesburg Fire Department’s 100th Anniversary of Service. There was an overwhelming sense of pride & community, celebrating a volunteer fire company that has an exemplary record of service above self. Thank you to all of the generations who have served.

Thank you to the NJ State Chamber of Commerce for the opportunity to speak to interested members along with Senator Zwicker. Our lively discussions touched on budget issues and priorities in Trenton in addition to the hot topics throughout the state.

Landmarks like East Point Lighthouse are part of South Jersey’s identity and culture. That’s why I questioned Acting NJ DEP Commissioner Ed Potosnak on investing in long-term preservation to ensure our historic sites are protected for future generations.

Proud to have joined @NewJerseyDOT Commissioner Jain for this launch at Woodbine Municipal Airport. The initiative will fly from Sandy Hook to Cape May promoting litter-free beaches, and NJDOT’s investment is helping employ 27 young pilots & three mechanics to make it possible.

NJ retirees earned the pensions they were promised. COLAs help protect those benefits from rising costs & provide greater financial stability in retirement. As expenses continue to climb, supporting responsible COLAs means keeping promises to retirees who helped our communities.
