Senator Andrew Zwicker

Statement on ICE Shooting in Minnesota:

Congratulations to Governor Sherrill and Lt. Governor Caldwell on their inauguration! Our new Governor took immediate action to lower utility costs, and I’m excited to be a strong partner to her in Trenton to continue making energy affordable for New Jerseyans.

With so much injustice in the world today, the words of Dr. King ring out stronger than ever. Continue speaking out for the things that matter, remember that collectively we, the people, have the power in this fight and commit to showing up for our neighbors and our communities.

My statement on the ICE raid in Princeton:

Honored to be sworn in again as your Senator from LD16 to serve in the 222nd legislature. Let’s get to work!

My honor tonight to swear in Councilwoman Susan Engelhardt of Flemington and Councilman Ben Valliere of Lebanon. Looking forward to all that they accomplish for their communities!

Now that the Corporation for Public Broadcasting is officially shutting down, it's even more important that we provide a stable funding structure for public broadcasting in New Jersey. We have 6 months before NJ PBS shuts down. Let's keep public media on the air.

We honored the Flemington Area Food Pantry and Walker & Associates on the floor of the Senate for the lifesaving work they do feeding hungry families in our community. With increasing food insecurity, their selfless work and generous support is more critical now than ever before.

Statement on the Campaign for CD-12:

N.J. Energy Policy Coalition honors five for leadership in energy space The N.J. Energy Policy Coalition honors leaders for their contributions to energy policy and economic growth in New Jersey.

Honored to receive the Workforce Development Award from the Energy Policy Coalition. New Jersey's clean energy revolution must be powered by a well-trained workforce so we can lower energy costs and fight climate change. Proud to be a leader in that work.

I loved spending time with the teachers and preschoolers at Princeton Nursery School. Seeing these kids learn, play, and grow is a powerful reminder of the future we're all working to protect. Thank you to the incredible team at PNS for hosting me.

Statement on the First Night of Hanukkah and the Anti-Semitic Attack in Australia

Arkansas Public Television Drops PBS

Financial strain and federal funding cuts are forcing Arkansas PBS to close its doors. We’re facing the same crisis here in New Jersey.

We’re working hard in Trenton to ensure that families across NJ can continue getting the PBS programming we all love.

The next generation of STEM leaders are going to make the groundbreaking discoveries and innovations that change the world, and their journey starts right here in New Jersey. Thank you to the Governor's Stem Scholars for giving me the chance to meet and speak to these future leaders.

Thank you to the Greater Westfield Area Chamber of Commerce for having me to discuss pressing issues of energy, housing, and affordability alongside my Senate and Assembly colleagues. Glad we could exchange innovative ideas to make life easier in the Garden State.

NJ PBS has been a good neighbor to New Jersey families for generations, but years of financial hardship have put at risk the news, stories, and shows that mean so much to us. I’m working with my neighbors in the Legislature to ensure public broadcasting stays in our neighborhood.

Sea-level rise accelerates in New Jersey, raising coastal flooding risk, study says | NJ Spotlight News Landmark report forecasts water levels and temperature gain but avoids policy prescriptions

New Jersey is on the frontlines of climate change. The science is clear: global warming is driving rising sea levels and catastrophic flooding. We need clean, affordable energy that cuts emissions and protects our state.

Welcome to the team Ayla!

This week, we're recognizing the courage and accomplishments of our transgender community in New Jersey and across the country. I'm proud to stand with our LGBTQ+ neighbors to protect access to gender-affirming care, defend the freedom to read, and fight for equal rights.

A judge has finally ordered Seton Hall to turn over all documents from its clergy abuse investigation. Now, we must ensure that the survivors of this horrific abuse get the answers they deserve, and the leaders of Seton Hall who refused to act will be held accountable.

New Jersey is for the people, not polluters. That's why we need to pass the Climate Superfund Act and finally #MakePollutersPay for the damage they've done to our planet. Support S3545/A4696 for a cleaner, more resilient New Jersey.

Grateful for the testimony we received today on how we can continue providing reliable public broadcasting to millions in NJ. Whether it's trusted local news or Sesame Street, families deserve the reliable public broadcasting service that enriches lives and strengthens community.

Excited to welcome Brady to the team as our new Scheduler! Happy to have you on board!

New Jerseyans deserve affordable energy that lowers electric bills while keeping our environment clean.

I joined @evergreenction.bsky.social and @nrdc.org to announce new strategies that will boost clean energy production and reform our the PJM system so we can drive down electricity costs.

Today we honor the courage and sacrifice of all who have served our country in uniform.

Thank you to our veterans and their families for all you’ve given to keep our country safe.

Happy Election Day!! Don’t forget to head to the polls before 8:00 PM today.

Always a blast visiting with the Rutgers Democrats to talk state politics, upcoming elections, and the most pressing issues affecting young people in New Jersey. Thanks for a great conversation and for staying engaged!

RFK Jr. and his national anti-science movement are putting millions of Americans at risk, but no matter how many conspiracies they try to make law, New Jersey will continue to follow the science and do what's safe and right for our families and children.

Let’s take the dyes out—of our food and N.J. politics | Opinion Democrats and Republicans are coming together to protect our children’s health.

For Trump and RFK Jr., MAHA is just a flashy campaign slogan for ramming through anti-science policy.

We're actually working to make NJ healthier. I have a bill in the legislature right now to follow the science and ban harmful food dyes and additives.
