Fight to Make NJ RED
Trenton’s insiders made New Jersey less affordable. We’re taking a stand for families, small businesses, and common sense—because taxpayers deserve better.

A Surplus on Paper, a Deficit in Reality
- $7B claimed surplus vs. $1.5B projected deficit
- Surplus lasts ~40 days at current burn rate
- No fix to the legal requirement for a stronger cushion
Spending Out of Control
- $58.83B total spend (↑ $2.1B YoY)
- Since Gov. Christie: +$24.1B (≈70%)
- 5% trim per dept. ≈ $3B in savings
New Jersey Families Can’t Afford This
- Cost of living ↑ $32,000 in 7 years
- Households near $105k qualify for Section 8
- State + local taxes ↑ $30B under current admin
125 Tax Hikes and Counting
- 12 new increases in this budget alone
- “Take a dollar, give back 70¢” isn’t relief
Property Taxes Keep Climbing
- + $5.8B statewide
- Avg. homeowner pays nearly $1,500 more
- ANCHOR & StayNJ = band-aids, not fixes
Schools Shortchanged, Priorities Backwards
- $74,000 per inmate vs. $20,000 per student
- Schools underfunded nearly $500M
- Four-year colleges cut $130.78M
Pork Projects Still Packed In
- $250M in pork / 516 projects
- Political pet projects crowd out real relief
Our Bottom Line
This budget treats taxpayers like an ATM. We’ll rebuild from the studs—lower taxes, fully funded schools, responsible spending.
