I spoke to Stephanie Akin and @pluribusnews.bsky.social about my bill to stop social media companies from targeting kids with algorithms or ads that could cause eating disorders.

I loved having the opportunity to meet the RIPPAC students in the State House yesterday! It was a truly inspiring group and I left so impressed. This isn't the last time I'll be seeing these Rowan students around Trenton!

I had a great conversation with Michael Kidd-Gilchrist about his amazing work to require health insurance and Medicaid to cover stuttering treatment. He already helped pass this in Pennsylvania and Kentucky. Iโ€™m ready to do my part to make sure his home state of New Jersey is next!

NJ looks to blunt social media impact on eating disorders | NJ Spotlight News Bill would target social media platforms from promoting disorders

I have two teenage daughters and a teenage son, and I was also a teen girl at one point in my life. I know that what they see and what theyโ€™re consuming on social media has a very large impact on their emotional and their mental health in a lot of ways, including their body image.

Itโ€™s actually absurd that no one in the state or federal government can tell us what is happening with these drones. Iโ€™m disturbed and I know a lot of my constituents feel the same way. We need answers. Now.

This campaign needs you now Encourage Legislators to Safeguard Abortion and IVF Access Nationwide via Constitutional Amendment

Today, I introduced AJR-207, which would begin the process of convening a constitutional convention to enshrine abortion and IVF access into the United States Constitution. This is the time for state legislators to act proactively. If you support it, please sign my petition here: chng.it/Z2RddKQz75

Hainesport got amazing news today! Greenpower Motor Company announced they chose Wolfington Body Company as their exclusive dealer for electric school buses in NJ, PA, and DE. This will improve our local economy while ensuring we all have cleaner air to breathe.

A huge thank you to OTC Services in Burlington for showing me around their facility today! They offer great opportunities for people living with disabilities and it was wonderful to see their operation up close.

I just toured Bestwork for the Blind and Iโ€™m in awe. They are providing great opportunities for the visually impaired as they create goods and services for the military, government, and countless major companies.

Lawmakers exploring changes to law on legal notices after newspaper declines โ€ข New Jersey Monitor The closure of the Star-Ledger will leave some towns and counties without an official newspaper to print legally required public notices.

This is a real opportunity to keep government transparent & accountable by preserving local journalism in our state.

The closure of newspapers is a huge loss for many reasons โ€” the upcoming public notice crisis is just one of them. I have a bill with Assemblywoman Carol Murphy to allow local papers like the Pine Barrens Tribune to advertise public notices. This would help smaller papers to survive, too.

In celebration of American Education Week, I spent the day at Chatsworth Elementary School! I read a book about helping in our communities, talked about what I learned in school and how I continue to learn, and my duties as an Assemblywoman. Iโ€™m so thankful for the opportunity!

My office will continue to monitor it with the Department of Health. Cases like this are exactly why one of the first bills I introduced would mandate that long-term care facilities have a
n advocate in the building. NJ must proactively protect our seniors.

No hot water, no working stove, barely enough food at troubled N.J. nursing home, state says The Medford Care Center's 93 residents are in 'immediate jeopardy,' health inspectors say.

I was horrified to learn about the Medford Care Centerโ€™s unacceptable living conditions. No one should have to live like that or worry a loved one is in a situation like it. Itโ€™s made even worse by the long delay before action was taken by the state.
