The New Jersey Gubernatorial election is impending and citizens will be able to select the candidate that they think will best serve their needs. New Jersey’s Constitution includes that these general elections shall be held annually on the first Tuesday after the first Monday in November also, the time of holding such elections may be altered by law. Currently there are two candidates, Kim Guadagno who is on the Republican side and Phil Murphy who stands on the Democratic side. Both candidates have contradictory perspectives on topics that are spoken about during the debates. I believe Phil Murphy is the best candidate due to his promising ideas on controversial issues that are seen in New Jersey. Considering that there are more democrats …show more content…
This demonstrates Murphy’s initiative in fixing the economy through various beneficial solutions. Doing so he will be helping the people of New Jersey by lowering property taxes, which individuals can finally be relieved to hear. Murphy also wants to be more strict with spending on transit to ensure that the roads and bridges are functional rather than crowded with tolls. Personally, I think this is very efficient because these two factors make New Jersey very expensive to live in and by lowering taxes and being more strict with transit the economy can steadily progress to a stable point. Murphy wants to grow the economy due to the state being ranked last or near last in growth and inequalities. He states, “We need an economy that works for all New Jerseyans not just the special interests, I flat out reject the ‘us versus them’ approach to our economy, it is time we get back to thinking about ‘we’” (Phil Murphy). Murphy wants to achieve this by raising the wage to $15 an hour, ensure equal pay for equal work, and make millionaires and corporations pay their fair share of taxes. If this is successful then the economic standing that New Jersey holds will soon exponentially rise to the top. At the same time, Murphy wants to fix the economy so that more is invested in schools, family care and the elimination of poverty. Along with this Murphy also

Poor governing was an easy complication seen from himself and the people of New Jersey. Chris Christie is guilty of poor governing because of focusing on one topic, handling issues the wrong way, and knowing what and what not to say in his debates. Stuck only on one topic makes Chris Christie unable to handle multiple political issues that come to him properly. Handling issues the right way is something
Under the Christie Administration the efforts to ensure women’s equal pay was vetoed continually. In addition to the cutting of funding for Planned Parenthood. Murphy plans to prohibit employers from asking job applicants for their salary history in order to obtain a fair wage. Likewise he plans to restore funding for women’s health, a child and caregiver tax credit. Murphy has already gotten busy with helping women in need, as he has created with his wife; 180 Turning Lives Around.
As you mentioned passing the bill became possible “with the help of all the advocates.” Former presidents for generations tried to improve the health care, and finally President Obama took the last step and signed the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act to give people “basic security when it comes to their health care.”
Angela is honored to serve as the representative of such an ethnically, economically, and individually diverse district. The sixth district populace is a vital contributor to the economy of New Jersey, generating revenue through tourism, fishing, light and heavy manufacturing, advanced research, and technological development. The sixth district’s urban centers, New Brunswick, Asbury Park, and Perth Amboy, and acclaimed universities, Rutgers, the State University of New Jersey, and Monmouth, contribute to the vibrancy of life within the sixth district. The dedicated people of eastern New Jersey make the sixth district a wonderful place to live, as well as an esteemed region to represent.
A capable governor transforming the devastated aftermath of the hard-hit post-disaster New Jersey back to former vibrancy, now a promising nominee for 2016 American Presidential Election with earsplitting comments on governmental failure, Chris Christie, in my opinion, deserves to be in the limelight in 2013 and the beginning of 2014. In spite of reading just a few articles about the man of the year, I managed to form a relatively suitable view of Christie’s way of thinking, thought
With 2017 quickly coming to an end, the congressional and governor races are heating up. One race that is flying under the radar is the New Jersey 5th congressional district election. Democratic incumbent Josh Gottheimer is bracing up for what should be a hotly contested seat. As a New Jersey native, I have a keen sense of the type of people that Gottheimer needs to reach out to. The New Jersey 7th district, where I am from, is not much different than that of the 5th. Both are wealthy areas that tend to vote Republican. The Democratic Party has had a setback, especially with the 2016 presidential election, but Gottheimer is one bright spot that they cannot afford to lose. In order to retain his seat, which I believe he will, Josh
New Jersey like many other states relies on a tax system to provide many different services to its citizens including schools, roads, public health, and safety. Correspondingly, it has to raise the money required to
Governor of New Jersey, Chris Christie signed a bipartisan legislation regarding all public employees four years ago. This plan was designed so that public employees would give up all of their benefits and in doing so, the state will use that money to make payments into the pension system. But, when New Jersey’s economy was struggling, Christie cut the payments that were meant for the pension fund so that he could balance the state’s budget with that income. This made the pension system far worse off than before. Christie continues to promise to work towards the long-term goals he has for New Jersey although many believe that he is much more concerned about his presidential campaign over his obligations to the state as governor. In order to fix this issue, he planned to freeze the existing pension plan. In doing this, public employees would cease to build benefits and in turn be
“The mayor said the project would create 1,500 permanent jobs and hundreds more temporary construction positions — a small slice of the 100,000 jobs he promised to create with city money in the next 10 years.” Mayor de Blasio already has a plan to create 100,000 jobs and 1,500 permanent jobs. He looked more into the future and realized it’s time to raise salaries and to create the 100,000 jobs.
Wired telephone services have come as close to 100% reliable as is practical. Their network has substantial power backup, redundant circuits and years to get it right. Alternatives are improving but their networks can vary significantly. Cell sites and other communications nodes have a limited amount of backup power. In an extended power outage, such as after a hurricane or snowstorm, the service may not work, leaving you with no service. Corded phones work in power failures. Cable phones also have a lower level of reliability.
The renminbi currency has experienced a fixed exchange rate. The renminbi is seen as undervalued because the value of its currency has been scrutinized to be artificially low, which gives Chinese companies an unfair advantage over floating exchange rate countries such as the US. China has purchased more than $2.2 trillion in foreign exchange reserves in order to maintain an undervalued currency (Scott 2010). China buying US reserves increases the demand for dollars and increases the value of the dollar. Primarily, this makes Chinese goods cheaper in the US and US goods more expensive in China. Keeping a weak currency helps China to boost international exports because other countries purchase China’s goods at a relatively lower price. This helps to maintain growth in China’s economy and provide more manufacturing jobs, a staple to their economy.
Chris Christie is not a supported contender by many people of New Jersey, especially educators. Christie is very vocal about his dislike for teacher unions. He made the public comment that he wanted to punch them in the face. In response to his comments, Valerie Strauss and Russ Walsh, welcomed the challenge and stood up for teacher unions. They promote teacher unions to be a support for teachers and children alike, providing safe and productive environments for everyone, reporting when teachers fight for something it is including the children: “When teacher unions fight for better working conditions for teachers, they are also working for better learning conditions for children. When unions fight for job protections for teachers, they are also working to ensure that children have access to the best knowledge and the best instructional strategies available (Strauss and Walsh, 2015, para 11).
Develop knowledge center in fast-growing emerging economy. Opening a knowledge center in India allows Monitor to gain a foothold in what is sure to be a significant economic contributor to the world economy in the coming years. Although the economy has slowed down recently, and the on-going problems of political corruption and poor infrastructure make business in India challenging, the long-term pull of a country with over 1/7 of the world’s population is sure to remain. Developing this knowledge center gives Monitor the opportunity to continue to grow its presence in the region and participate
When looking at for a governor that will contribute to a state’s long-term success, one must look for the candidate that is not promising quick, instant relief, as citizens will have to pay for it eventually. In the gubernatorial debate, while both candidates are unable to fully answer the pension crisis question, Kim Guadagno seems to have the best ideas for addressing the issue. Phil Murphy’s take on the issue is that he desires to fully fund pension obligations as fast as possible, as this will gain the trust of New Jersey citizens back. This sounds great in theory, but it is important to look at how he is going to do this; in the debate he is unable to explain his plan. Guadagno addresses the issue by stating that in order to fix the problem, fifteen billion dollars of New Jersey’s thirty-four billion dollar budget will be required. This would mean budget cuts in almost all other areas of spending such as education and transportation. While Phil Murphy’s plan seems great, Guadagno quickly makes it clear that it is nearly impossible to achieve. If Murphy were to achieve his goal, New Jersey citizens would pay the price, and they would continue to pay the price for a long time. Guadagno, while not clearly stating her plan, believes that it is best to address the issue with a thoughtful, affordable approach. In conclusion, Murphy’s plan might benefit certain citizens for a brief period of time, but will hurt citizens in the long run, therefore, Kim Guadagno
