Assemblywoman Carol Murphy

With Read Across America Week coming up, I stopped by Riverside Elementary School to read The Cool Bean to students! Thank you for the warm welcome and for being so involved in the story!

It was incredible to be with my Muslim friends and neighbors for Iftar, the breaking of fast during Ramadan. I appreciated the opportunity to learn more about Ramadan and how it is not only about fasting, but about spiritual growth and bringing the community together. Thank you for having me!

In Celebration of Martin Luther King Jr. I had the honor and privilege of participating in the Second Baptist Church of Mount Holly Unity Day Celebration Panel with many other local officials. I look forward to continuing our conversations and working with our communities in Burlington County.

I was honored to host the Irish Delegation for the State of the State Address. As the Co-Chair of the Irish-American Caucus and a member of the New Jersey-Ireland Trade Commission it is important to share in historic moments in order to bring our governments closer for the benefit of our residents.

As we head into the New Year, my resolution is to codify the Office of Health Care Affordability and Transparency (OHCAT) to ensure our residents have a healthcare system that is transparent, accessible, and affordable. Wishing you all a happy and healthy 2026!

Merry Christmas! I hope everyone celebrating enjoys a wonderful time with family and friends this Christmas. May this season be filled with rest and generosity. Wishing you a safe and joyful holiday!

These facilities provide essential services to local adults and children with intellectual and developmental disabilities, helping them build communication skills and greater self-sufficiency in a supportive environment.

I had the opportunity to visit Oaks Integrated Care and tour the Pat Lebon Center and the Charles Yates Center for Children and Families. They are a crucial part of our region’s IDD service network, and I am proud to support the important work they do.

Did you know EMS is not considered an essential service? That's why I introduced A6075 to change that, and I am proud to partner with NJ FMBA to make this important step forward. Read the press release below for more information:

Happy Halloween!
It was celebrating at W.R. James Elementary in Willingboro, visiting their Pumpkin Patch! So happy to see all the kids dressed up and excited to pick out their pumpkins to take home. I’m so grateful to work with the PTA to make this event possible for the students.

I was proud to celebrate the $4 million in funding we secured for the Virtua Health College of Medicine and Life Sciences of Rowan University. Supporting institutions that educate and train medical professionals is essential to addressing our ongoing healthcare workforce shortage.

I was honored to speak about Health Insurance policy with NABIP at their State of the State in Healthcare Symposium. We must continue our work to keep improving healthcare access while keeping insurance costs low for our residents and employers.

Today I joined the BCEA for their canvass kickoff! I’m honored to have so many dedicated teachers out knocking on doors to help elect Democrats across Burlington County. Thank you all for your incredible support!

Congratulations to Samaritan on 45 years serving South Jersey. It was an honor to be recognized for my work in the legislature and to present a resolution to honor your important milestone. I look forward to continuing our work together in the coming years.

There is zero tolerance for political violence ever. Attacks on leaders, candidates, or citizens threaten our democracy itself. We must stand united, reject hate, and resolve differences only through peaceful, democratic means.

Today is Patriot Day, a day where we remember all those we lost on September 11, 2001, and all of the hero's who answered the call in our nation's darkest hour. We will never forget.

I held my Veterans Roundtable where we had a great discussion on issues facing our veterans community and what I can do to continue helping to ensure a successful post-service life for our veterans. Thank you for everyone who attended, I look forward to hosting another one soon! #VeteranSupport

It was great spending time with RWJBarnabas Health at the New York Jets Kickoff Luncheon in support of the Lupus Research Alliance. Always happy to support such a great cause with a team that proudly plays here in the Garden State.

Supporting our local first responders is essential. This funding for Willingboro EMS in the FY26 Budget is a crucial step to ensure they are able to serve residents effectively and safely. I’m proud to support efforts that strengthen our EMS and help protect residents in Willingboro and beyond.

I had a great time walking in the Florence Parade this weekend! It was wonderful to meet so many people while handing out candy, and even a few dog treats. A perfect way to close out the Fourth of July season and celebrate with the community.

Happy to have helped secure funding for the Railroad Avenue Tot Lot Playground in Florence! As part of this year’s budget, the District 7 team secured $165,000 to support this invest into Florence. Projects like this are vital to strengthening our towns and public spaces families rely on every day.

Republicans in Congress are taking a major step backward, putting healthcare access at risk for hundreds of thousands of New Jerseyans.
