I look forward to working with President-elect Biden and Vice President-elect Harris to secure a better future for New Jersey families and all Americans across the country.”
Assembly Speaker Craig Coughlin
“Congratulations to President-Elect Biden and Vice President-Elect Harris on their well-deserved victory.

Congressman Josh Gottheimer
“Congratulations to President-elect Biden and Vice President-elect Harris on their historic victory. Now is the time to come together as a country and work together to overcome COVID-19, make health care more affordable, stand by our veterans and first responders, lower our taxes, and remember that our diversity is our greatest strength. We live in the greatest country in the world, and our best days — no matter what we face — will always be ahead of us.”
