NEW JOBS, the Business PAC of NJ, Endorses 68 Candidates for 2025 State Assembly General Election

The New Jersey Organization for a Better State (NEW JOBS) PAC, the leading political voice for business in the state, proudly announced its endorsements for the 2025 State Assembly General Election today.

NEW JOBS is the State’s largest and most influential business political action committee. It is a nonpartisan organization whose trustees promote a pro-business climate in New Jersey by endorsing and supporting legislative candidates who actively support economic growth, the creation of private-sector jobs, and the lowering of business costs.

NEW JOBS is announcing endorsements for 68 candidates in 36 legislative districts.

“New Jobs is proud to support a slate of candidates committed to fostering a business climate that strengthens our economy, helps existing businesses grow, and attracts new ones to our state,” said NEW JOBS Chair Tony Bawidamann.

“We look forward to partnering with them to build a stronger, more prosperous economy for New Jersey.”

The endorsements made by NEW JOBS are NOT an endorsement from the New Jersey Business and Industry Association (NJBIA) nor any other individual company, industry group or trade association. While many business organizations like NJBIA are affiliated with the NEW JOBS PAC, and represented on its Board of Trustees, the PAC is a separate entity run by its independent board.
