Tammy Murphy

There are no words to express how proud I am of all that we have accomplished together.

It has been an absolute honor and privilege to serve as First Lady of our great state.

Thank you, New Jersey!

Thank you to the Port Authority for making this happen!

Timothy’s art celebrates the greatest artists in New Jersey history – artists who span generations, cultures and creative traditions.

From today forward, travelers from all over the world will be welcomed not just by a beautiful terminal, but by the creative soul of our state.

For the past eight years, thanks to the Newark Museum of Art, Timothy White’s artwork has hung on the walls of @govmurphy.bsky.social’s satellite office in Newark.

Now, the “What Exit?” installation will live in Terminal A at Newark Airport!

Today, @govmurphy.bsky.social delivered his final State of the State Address, reflecting on the past eight years of building a stronger and fairer New Jersey. What a journey!!

We are so incredibly proud of you, Phil!

And in the years since then — at a time when extremist politicians have put a target on the backs of women — we have firmly established New Jersey as a safe haven for reproductive freedom.

When the Supreme Court launched an unprecedented assault on reproductive rights, we — in New Jersey — fought back.

Months before the Court issued its dreadful Dobbs decision, we took action and codified the right to abortion.

By expanding access to lead screenings, supporting families through pregnancy and postpartum, and raising awareness for critical doula and midwife services, we are ensuring all moms and babies have the opportunity to thrive.

This week, @govmurphy.bsky.social signed four bills to further strengthen access to services and supports for New Jersey’s moms and babies – bringing the total number of bills signed into law under #NurtureNJ to 78!

Essex County truly reflects the strength and diversity of New Jersey. I wish you and all of your fellow commissioners continued success as you serve with compassion and commitment.

Congratulations to Carlos Pomares and A’Dorian Murray-Thomas — the newest President and Vice President of the Essex County Board of Commissioners!

Developed in collaboration with the Department of Human Services, Department of Health, MIHIA and the Office of Innovation, this tool is designed to reduce administrative burden — so doulas can focus on what matters most: providing quality care.

🛠️ Introducing the NJ Doula Assistant: a first-of-its-kind online tool to help doulas simplify and accelerate their Medicaid Fee-for-Service enrollment.

Over the past eight years, I have watched my Chief of Staff Stephanie Lagos lead with thoughtfulness, steadiness and heart.
 
Today, it was my absolute honor to watch her be sworn in as the next mayor of Bordentown City.

So excited to see you lead, Madam Mayor!

Thrilled to take part in the groundbreaking of 1888 Studios in Bayonne!

Today, we celebrate the history of film and TV production in the Garden State and begin a new chapter of economic growth. 📽️

To my incredible team past and present who has worked fearlessly beside me to make New Jersey safer for all moms and babies: I am unbelievably grateful for you.

You have truly left a permanent imprint on this state, and none of this would be possible without you.

This work has been the honor of a lifetime and is the legacy I’m most proud of – but none of it would have been possible without the advocates, partners, nurses, doulas and moms who have helped guide our mission from day one.

Through panel discussions, inspiring speakers and thoughtful conversation, we are working toward a New Jersey where every mom has access to high-quality care.

Bittersweet to host our final Nurture NJ Leadership Summit today in East Brunswick with nearly 800 experts, leaders and moms in attendance.

From improving outcomes for moms and babies to restoring Drumthwacket, supporting women in business, incorporating climate change education in our K-12 standards, preparing to host the 2026 World Cup and so much more, we are unbelievably proud of all we have accomplished.

Huge thank you to Joanna Gagis at @njspotlightnews.org for welcoming me to reflect on the past eight years in office and some of our biggest wins!

These hands-on lessons are helping our children develop the skills needed to tackle the climate crisis. Humbled to be a part of this educational advantage for NJ students!

Thank you to John P. Faber Elementary School in Dunellen for showing me how your students and educators are embracing climate change education!

Wonderful afternoon yesterday, celebrating and honoring our veterans at Drumthwacket. 
 
We are deeply grateful to all past and present members of our military alongside their families who have made incredible sacrifices to protect our freedom. 🇺🇸

Another productive day in Mexico!

@govmurphy.bsky.social and I met with the U.S.–Mexico Chamber of Commerce and the FIFA World Cup Mexico City Host Committee to showcase New Jersey’s world-class talent, innovation and leadership.

Beautiful Diwali celebration at Drumthwacket this evening.

We’re honored to celebrate the Festival of Lights at the People’s House one final time — a constant reminder that good will always triumph over evil and light will always prevail over darkness.

Wonderful evening with @govmurphy.bsky.social opening the 14th Annual Montclair Film Festival as this year’s Honorary Chairs!

Thank you to Montclair Film, Evie Colbert and Stephen Colbert for your incredible work supporting filmmakers and artists in the Garden State.

Thank you to Jim Kirkos and the Meadowlands Chamber for honoring us at their 51st Annual Legacy Awards Gala!

Bringing the FIFA World Cup to New Jersey has been a whirlwind experience. We cannot wait for the world’s greatest game to come to the world’s biggest stage.

Gorgeous run in Monmouth County!
