And with her and Dale, New Jersey is in extraordinarily capable hands. This job is not easy, but it is the journey of a lifetime. Because to lead our state is to love it.

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.

We’ve worked tirelessly to uphold Dr. King’s legacy and promote his vision for America by raising the minimum wage, expanding voting rights, and enacting criminal justice reform.

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.

As heavy snowfall continues across the state, we urge you to avoid driving if possible. If you must drive, please do so slowly and safely.

Governor Phil Murphy @govmurphy.bsky.social · 17/01/2026

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.

Today, I signed legislation creating new oversight and establishing new transparency requirements for charter schools. Together, we are setting a higher standard for charter schools and giving the NJ Dept. of Education greater authority to hold them accountable to taxpayers and communities.

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!

Today, I signed legislation modernizing the process for filling vacant U.S. House of Representatives seats — preventing delays, reducing voter confusion, and ensuring we don't have long periods without representation. www.nj.gov/governor/new...

This bill recognizes the real and lasting impact that traumatic experiences can have and ensures that first responders are treated with dignity, compassion, and fairness when they need it most.

Today, I proudly signed the First Responders Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder Protection Act into law, providing employment protections for paid first responders diagnosed with PTSD.

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.

From improving reliability and on-time performance to replacing every single outdated bus and rail car in NJ TRANSIT’s fleet by 2031, we have set in motion a renaissance for the nation’s third-largest public transit system.

180

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

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.

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

Today, it gives me great pride to say: We have lived up to that promise. We made the full payment into our state’s pension system FIVE years in a row — and for the first time in a generation.

0101

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.

Hollywood — you better watch your back. Because the state that gave us Tony Soprano is hot on your heels.

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.

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

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.

181

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

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

In fact, just this past November, we saw more voters turn out in a gubernatorial election than ever before!

050

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

From expanding early in-person voting to restoring voting rights to more than 80,000 people on probation or parole and establishing automatic voter registration, we have helped a record number of eligible voters turn out to cast their ballots.

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.

060

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

That’s why we pledged to fight for every New Jerseyan. And when they told us what couldn’t be done, we said: Just watch. At every turn, we have stayed true to our vision for a stronger and fairer New Jersey. And in so doing, we proved them wrong.

040

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.

Today at 3:00 p.m., I will deliver my final State of the State Address. Over the past eight years, we have built a New Jersey that is stronger AND fairer than ever before. We were who we said we’d be — and we did what we said we’d do. Let us reflect on the progress we have made together.

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.

I also signed a joint resolution declaring July 30, Brian’s birthday, as Brian Sicknick Day in New Jersey. To our heroic members of law enforcement: we are eternally grateful for your service and sacrifice. May God bless you all.

Governor Phil Murphy @govmurphy.bsky.social · 09/01/2026

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.

Over the past two decades, we have seen a shocking and untenable increase in the number of young Americans struggling with mental health issues. This growing youth mental health crisis did not appear out of thin air. It has only grown worse as smartphones have become more ubiquitous.

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...
