New Direction NJ Releases Second TV Ad Supporting Gov. Murphy’s COVID-19 Recovery Agenda

Ad Showcases NJ’s Response to Pandemic and Backs Governor’s Agenda for a Stronger, Fairer State

TRENTON, NJ — New Direction NJ, a 501c4 non-profit advocacy organization, is announcing its second ad as part of the multi-platform television and digital advertising campaign it launched last month to support the Murphy Administration’s COVID-19 recovery plans. The ad begins running today and it showcases New Jersey’s response to the COVID-19 pandemic and urges support for Governor Phil Murphy’s recovery policies that are designed to make the state stronger and fairer than ever before.

“Governor Murphy is enacting an ambitious recovery agenda that will make New Jersey stronger and fairer than ever before,” said NDNJ Senior Advisory Brendan Gill. “While others might fall back to the same old austerity measures that we know won’t succeed, NDNJ supports the Murphy Administration’s bold policy initiatives designed to address the inequities that the pandemic exposed.”

Since its inception in 2018, New Direction NJ has advocated for policy initiatives that help build the middle class, support working families and make the state stronger and fairer. The organization was a leading voice in fighting for a $15/hour minimum wage and for expanded paid family leave, and more recently has been one of the driving forces behind rallying support for one of Governor Murphy’s signature policy achievements — reinstituting the millionaires tax to bring tax fairness to the state.
