Congratulations, Governor Sherrill! This is a truly historic and joyous day for New Jersey. Mikie has done it all. Like a true Naval aviator, she has navigated the chaos of Congress with grit and grace. She has devoted her life to serving our country.

It has been an extraordinary run. As I leave the State House for the last time as Governor, I am proud to say we are leaving our children a state that is better than we found it. A New Jersey that is stronger, fairer, and more responsible.

Today, we honor the immeasurable impact of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.’s lifelong commitment to equality and economic justice.

To my incredible wife, Tammy, and our wonderful children, Josh, Emma, Charlie, and Sam, your support means the world to me. From the bottom of my heart: thank you.

Eight years ago today, I stood on stage and took the oath as the 56th Governor of New Jersey. During our final days in office, I’m proud to say that we’ve kept our promise to build a New Jersey that is stronger and fairer than ever before.

Governor Phil Murphy @govmurphy.bsky.social · 16/01/2026

32 years since our first date and happier than ever. To my amazing wife and best friend: I couldn’t have done this without you. I love you, Tammy!

It has been the highest honor of my life to serve as Governor to the nine-and-a-half million New Jerseyans who call our great state home.

As our state’s commuters will be quick to tell you: NJ TRANSIT is not yet where it needs to be. But it is also lightyears ahead of where it was.

Governor Phil Murphy @govmurphy.bsky.social · 13/01/2026

Before I entered office, the last time New Jersey received a credit rating upgrade was in 2005. In the past three years, we have secured NINE credit rating upgrades. By contrast, the prior administration had 11 credit rating downgrades.

1186

Governor Phil Murphy @govmurphy.bsky.social · 13/01/2026

At a time when New Jersey is ascendant, there is only one thing that can stand in our way – and that is ourselves. We cannot repeat the mistakes of the past. That is why, when I entered office in 2018, I promised to turn things around as Governor.

Governor Phil Murphy @govmurphy.bsky.social · 13/01/2026

New Jersey is quickly becoming THE global destination for film and television production. @netflix.com. @lionsgate.com. @paramountpics.bsky.social: some of the biggest names in the business. And they are all putting down roots in the Garden State.

Governor Phil Murphy @govmurphy.bsky.social · 13/01/2026

We have set New Jersey on course to a cleaner, more sustainable future. A future where we meet our responsibility to combat climate change while also creating new sources of affordable, reliable energy that lower costs in the long-term.

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.

Governor Phil Murphy @govmurphy.bsky.social · 13/01/2026

Thanks to the leadership of Lt. Governor Way, New Jersey’s democracy is stronger, and more secure, than ever before. We have set the national standard for protecting the integrity of our democratic process.

1101

Governor Phil Murphy @govmurphy.bsky.social · 13/01/2026

We restored funding for long-neglected priorities — pensions, public education, public transit, women’s health care — AND secured NINE consecutive credit rating upgrades in just three years, after a generation of downgrades.

Governor Phil Murphy @govmurphy.bsky.social · 13/01/2026

Together, we have proudly delivered more property tax relief to the people of New Jersey than any Administration in history. Nearly twice as much, in fact, as the last Administration.

161

Governor Phil Murphy @govmurphy.bsky.social · 13/01/2026

We were told that reforming a broken criminal justice system would jeopardize public safety, and what did we do? We reduced New Jersey’s prison population to its lowest levels in decades — AND brought homicides and shootings down to record lows at the same time.

141

Governor Phil Murphy @govmurphy.bsky.social · 13/01/2026

We were told raising the minimum wage would kill jobs and crash the economy, and what did we do? We passed a law nearly doubling the minimum wage — AND built the fastest-growing economy in the entire Northeast. All at the same time.

192

Governor Phil Murphy @govmurphy.bsky.social · 13/01/2026

Back in January 2018, New Jersey was a state in dire need of a turnaround. When I entered office, the needs of the people were being pushed aside.

Governor Phil Murphy @govmurphy.bsky.social · 12/01/2026

The official closing of Netflix on Fort Monmouth affirms that the birthplace of film is where its future is being built once again. Fort Monmouth is no longer a dormant site — it will be a place where our production workforce can grow and a symbol of New Jersey’s vibrant economic future.

Linda Callahan worked tirelessly to make the world more compassionate and just. She will be missed by everyone whose life she touched. We are sending our heartfelt condolences and prayers to Pat, their four beloved children, and their grandchildren during this difficult time.

Governor Phil Murphy @govmurphy.bsky.social · 11/01/2026

Governor Dick Codey distinguished himself as the consummate public servant, working alongside New Jerseyans of all beliefs and backgrounds to chart a brighter path forward. Tammy and I are sending our love and deepest condolences to Dick's wife, their two sons, and the entire Codey family.

Somerset County is fortunate to be represented by so many outstanding leaders. Congratulations to the public servants sworn in today in Somerville: Commissioner Melonie Marano, Commissioner Elizabeth Graner, Surrogate Tina Jalloh, and Sheriff Darrin Russo.

On National Law Enforcement Appreciation Day, we joined the Sicknick family in South River to remember U.S. Capitol Police Officer Brian Sicknick. Officer Sicknick lost his life after courageously defending the United States Capitol from insurrectionists on January 6, 2021.

NEW: I just signed bipartisan legislation establishing a bell-to-bell ban on cell phones in K-12 schools. This policy is a no-brainer. It will help boost academic achievement, protect the mental well-being of our students, and restore focus in our classrooms. www.nj.gov/governor/new...

Just finished my final News 12 NJ “Ask Governor Murphy” with Eric Landskroner! Thank you for welcoming me to your studio once a month for the past eight years to connect with constituents on the issues that matter most.

Governor Phil Murphy @govmurphy.bsky.social · 06/01/2026

NEW: New Jersey has recorded its fewest number of shootings on record for 2025 and reached an all-time low in gun homicides. Since we took office, shootings have declined by 59% statewide.

Thank you to the @njglobe.bsky.social for stopping by the State House to recap the past eight years and some of our Administration’s proudest accomplishments.

Governor Phil Murphy @govmurphy.bsky.social · 06/01/2026

Great to sit down with Brent Johnson of NJ.com to discuss our Administration's achievements over the last eight years and thank him for his many years of dedicated service covering the State House.

Congratulations to all and the very best of luck as you begin your important work on behalf of the people of Bordentown City!

Governor Phil Murphy @govmurphy.bsky.social · 03/01/2026

Deputy Mayor — and former Mayor — Jen Sciortino is also a dear colleague, and I have no doubt that she will continue serving Bordentown City with the same dedication, integrity, and deep commitment that has always defined her record of service.

Governor Phil Murphy @govmurphy.bsky.social · 03/01/2026

I’ve had the privilege of working alongside Steph for the past eight years as the Chief of Staff to @firstladynj.bsky.social and my Deputy Chief of Staff and I can say firsthand: she will bring that same unmatched experience, dedication, and big heart to leading the city she loves so much.

Governor Phil Murphy @govmurphy.bsky.social · 03/01/2026

Honored to swear in Bordentown City’s newest public servants: Mayor Stepanie Lagos, Deputy Mayor Jennifer Sciortino, and Commissioner Grace Archer.

We are thrilled to share that we’ve exceeded 200,000 approved housing permits – more than the last four gubernatorial administrations. Through the NJDCA, we are delivering on our promise to expand housing supply and provide more opportunity for families to plant roots in the Garden State.

Incredible morning breaking ground on 1888 Studios in Bayonne. Once completed, the 58-acre campus will be the largest film and TV facility in the Northeast.

Governor Phil Murphy @govmurphy.bsky.social · 14/12/2025

I am horrified by the cowardly terrorist attack that took place during a Hanukkah celebration at Bondi Beach, resulting in the loss of 11 innocent lives and additional injuries, including to law enforcement. Antisemitism must be condemned forcefully and unequivocally.

Governor Phil Murphy @govmurphy.bsky.social · 13/12/2025

Great to be back at the Rutgers University Big Chill 5k — the first 5k I ran as Gov-elect in 2017! 🏃 With 38 days remaining in office, we are — literally — running through the tape.

0121

Governor Phil Murphy @govmurphy.bsky.social · 12/12/2025

Today, we broke ground on Carteret’s Multimodal Ferry Terminal – a multi-purpose, multi-level, terminal that will redefine what a waterfront city can be. For generations, this land belonged to industry, closed off to the community. Now, it belongs to the people of Carteret.

President Trump’s attempt to interfere with state-based AI regulations will hamper our efforts to improve government services and attract new investment and jobs.

Nice to catch up with Briana Vannozzi and the team at @njspotlightnews.org. We had a chance to reflect on my Administration’s proudest accomplishments over the past eight years – including our investments in property tax relief, school funding, the pension system, energy, and health care.

Governor Phil Murphy @govmurphy.bsky.social · 09/12/2025

Today, we came together at St. Therese of Lisieux Church in Cresskill to commemorate the life of one of New Jersey’s greatest champions, longtime Bergen County Surrogate Michael Dressler. Michael was a dear friend and the best big brother Bergen County could ask for. He will be deeply missed.

Governor Phil Murphy @govmurphy.bsky.social · 07/12/2025

Great to see BooneScuttle 5 — a Jersey-based ’60s British Invasion and garage cover band — perform at Bernie’s Hillside Lounge in Chester. Today’s concert was special. After our friend Joe lost his dad suddenly earlier this year, he honored his memory by stepping in for him on the bass guitar.

Grateful to celebrate Chanukah with our Jewish friends and neighbors at Drumthwacket ahead of the holiday next week. Light will always prevail over darkness. Chag Sameach, New Jersey!

This Thanksgiving season, I am proud to announce pardons and commutations for 55 deserving individuals. Each grant of clemency represents a renewed opportunity for someone who has demonstrated accountability, growth, and a sincere commitment to rebuilding their life.
