Physicist | NJ State Senator | Proudly representing the 16th Legislative District in Central Jersey (yes, it exists)

State legislatures have to lead in building the clean energy future we need to lower utility bills and protect our environment. I joined @MSSIA alongside my fellow state legislators to talk about what's next for solar power and the clean energy transition in our states.

Happy Earth Day! This planet is the only one we’ve got, and it’s on us to defend it. That means fighting to keep our air clean, our water safe, and our climate protected. Head outside today and take a minute to appreciate Mother Earth 🌎

Avellana Agroforestry Cooperative is giving Oregon a run for its money by building New Jersey’s hazelnut industry right here in LD16. I’m working on legislation that would help make the hazelnut New Jersey’s next big cash crop. Great news for Nutella lovers everywhere!

I had a chance to speak at NEI's Nuclear Communications Forum discussing the future of nuclear energy and the role of states to set forward-thinking policy. NJ has started the process to build new nuclear generation (fission and fusion) as key to a clean energy future for all.

Thrilled to join NJ Transit CEO Kris Kolluri, County Executive Benson, Council President Lambros, Councilwoman Sacks, and Mayor Freda to celebrate the official re-launch of the Princeton Loop. Proud to represent communities pushing sustainable public transit. Try the new Loop!

Stopped by and talked to orgs at the Hunterdon County Disability Services Expo. As a member of the Legislative Disability Caucus, I know how critical it is for families to understand all the services available to their loved ones. Thanks to everyone who helped organize the Expo!

Yesterday was a great day in Trenton as the budget committee took testimony from the Departments of Transportation, Health, NJ Transit and the MVC. My staff and I also had a chance to sit down with Governor Sherrill to talk about voting rights, innovation, and the future of NJ PBS.

I had so much fun throwing out the first pitch to help kick off the Somerset Patriots' regular season. And I got to meet legendary pitcher Sparky Lyle, one of my childhood baseball heroes! Thanks for having me Somerset, and good luck on your season ⚾️

Grateful to visit Community Options and see firsthand the work they do supporting people with disabilities to live full, engaged lives in their communities. I'm proud to work with them in Trenton and champion their mission across New Jersey.

Princeton showed up in the thousands to demand NO KINGS and an end to Trump's lawlessness. Together, we're standing up for our neighbors and the values of our and freedom that define us. After 250 years, American democracy will not bend to authoritarianism. Not on our watch.

Honored to accept an award from the Tri-County CMO. This org is dedicated to supporting youth facing mental health challenges right here in Central Jersey, and the work they do makes a real difference for the children who need it most. I'm proud to be a partner in their mission.

Last week, a fire at a housing complex in Branchburg left several families without a home. If you want to step up and help as they rebuild and seek support, head to the link in my bio and donate to any of the organizations listed. Thank you for showing up to help your neighbors.

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.

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.
