In case you've forgotten, tomorrow is Election Day in Jersey, with all 120 seats up for election in the New Jersey General Assembly and State Senate. We open the week with the lead story from Friday's CIANJ Business Beat, including candidates endorsed by PENPAC, affiliated with CIANJ.
The Private Enterprise Political Action Committee (PENPAC), affiliated with CIANJ has interviewed candidates, reviewed questionnaires and analyzed voting records. The PAC sought to find candidates whose viewpoints were in alliance with the CIANJ's Legislative Agenda and who adhere to free enterprise principles in order to make New Jersey an even greater place to live, work and conduct business.

"In the coming legislative session, lawmakers will make decisions on many significant policy issues, regarding asset monetization, balancing the state budget and healthcare reform, all of which will have an enormous impact on
New Jersey businesses and their operations,” said PENPAC Chairman Richard Goldberg. “That is why it is critically important that New Jersey business men and women support candidates whose policies will promote economic investment, stabilize taxes, and allow businesses to thrive and create jobs in the State of New Jersey.”
