“I’m honored that my colleagues have again placed their trust in me to lead the Senate Republican Caucus,” said Sen. Bucco. “Our caucus is made up of dedicated public servants who care deeply about making New Jersey more affordable, safer, and stronger for every family. I look forward to working with the Governor-elect in the upcoming legislative session, having a seat at the table, and continuing to fight for a New Jersey we can all be proud of. Together, we’ll continue to be a steady, solutions-focused voice in Trenton, holding the line on taxes, standing up for common-sense policies, and delivering results that make a real difference in people’s lives.”
