Invest in New Jerseyans

In America, the sky is the limit. We pride ourselves on that ideal - the belief that anyone, through hard work and determination, can achieve their dreams. But let’s be clear: the measure of a society is not how high the most privileged can climb, but how solid the ground is for everyone else. Right now, our world is becoming increasingly fragile, our economy more volatile. It’s not because we’ve limited the sky, but because we’ve allowed the floor to be bottomless.

It is time to raise the floor. It is time to ensure that every worker, every family, and every community has a foundation they can stand on. By doing so, we’re not just helping individuals, we’re building a stronger, more resilient economy that benefits us all. Raising the floor for working people is not charity, it’s common sense. It’s an investment in the people who drive our economy forward every day, from the food service workers who feed us, to the delivery drivers who keep us connected, to the teachers and caregivers who shape the next generation. 

Economic stability means families can afford healthier food, better healthcare, and safer housing, which reduces strain on public health systems and improves the quality of life for all of us. Financial stability gives parents the ability to support their children’s education, creating a more skilled, better-prepared workforce. When families have a fair shot at opportunity, we address the root causes of crime, creating safer streets and stronger communities. And when working families have money to spend, local businesses thrive, generating jobs and driving economic growth.
