Senator Troy Singleton – “There’s a lot of people who talk about paid family leave, equal pay for women, reproductive rights, LGBTQ+ protection, … None of this happens without the leadership of the Senate President who can navigate the challenges that we all face in Trenton. The one person who’s done this and that is Steve Sweeney.”

A Message from NJ General Assembly Member, Andrea Katz

Congressman Donald Norcross – “When it comes to passing legislation and helping the men and women of organized labor, there is nobody who has a resumé even close to what Steve Sweeney has… There’s certainly one [candidate] I believe stands above all the others, whose life has been devoted to organized labor.” ​ ​​​​​
