Representing the 35th District
Greetings! I am Senator John A. Girgenti, and I have been proud to serve the residents of New Jersey's 35th Legislative District for the past 30 years - first in the Assembly, and for the last 18 years in the Senate. It has been an honor and a privilege to represent our great and historic district.
I will continue to work hard with my colleagues in Trenton to make our streets safer, our schools better, and our economy stronger. That's why I:
- Sponsored anti-gang legislation and formed a gang task force,
- Sponsored "Amber Alert" - a lifesaving statewide notification system that alerts the public about missing children,
- Wrote the law to increase the pay for our National Guard when they are called into active duty,
- Voted to increase property tax rebates to homeowners including seniors and renters,
- Voted for legislation that established the New Jersey Urban Enterprise Zone Program -- a measure designed to help stimulate economic growth and reduce unemployment,
- Voted to restore funding for special education services that takes the burden off local taxpayers, and
- Supported tougher standards for teachers and students.
Because of your support, I am continuing the fight in Trenton for what's important to all the citizens of the 35th District.
Thank you.
