Statement on Storm Preparedness

I want to commend the leadership of Gov. Mikie Sherrill and her administration for their outstanding response to this historic storm. The speed and coordination with which major New Jersey thoroughfares and local roadways were cleared is truly impressive. Within just 24 hours, most roads were reopened, allowing commuters to return to work and businesses to resume operations with minimal disruption.

This level of preparedness, efficiency, commitment to public safety and the ongoing communications to the public made a real difference for families, workers, and business owners across our communities. It is a testament to strong leadership, attention to detail and the dedicated public works and emergency response teams who worked tirelessly to get New Jersey moving again so quickly. Job well done - and thank you.
