New Jerseyans from all walks of life are working hard to provide for their families, save for retirement, build a better life for their children and fulfill their own dreams. From workers who are fighting for better wages and stronger benefits, to families who are worried about saving enough money to send their children to college, they all face challenges to living the American Dream. As someone who grew up in a poor, but hardworking family, I know how hard work and determination can lead to a better life. That is why I have always stood up for the rights of workers seeking better opportunities and an improved workplace, and why I am working to ensure that all New Jersey families can achieve the American Dream.
