“Speaker Craig Coughlin’s historic fifth term is a testament to his steady, principled leadership and deep commitment to the people of New Jersey. He leads with empathy, fairness, and a clear focus on the issues that matter most: affordability, education, and opportunity for every family. Throughout this election cycle, Speaker Coughlin’s presence and support were felt across the state, including right here in Somerset County, where he helped strengthen our campaigns and our party, and played a key role in flipping a council seat in Hillsborough within the targeted 16th Legislative District. His leadership has unified Democrats around a shared vision of progress, and I am proud to support his continued service as Speaker of the General Assembly. With his experience and integrity guiding the chamber, New Jersey’s future is in good hands.”
