That’s not leadership, that’s not governing, that’s not standing up for the people you serve.

I think the chaos that we’re seeing coming from Washington... is something that New Jerseyans are not gonna tolerate.

I think it’s a dangerous situation to put military on the streets of this country.

It just seems so obvious to me what the path forward is. It’s effectively govern.

This country is too beautiful to be beholden to the cruelty and self-interest that Jack and Trump are trying to hoist on her.

I tell people it’s not maybe the sexiest tagline, but ruthless competence is what people in New Jersey want to see in government.

It's going to take a strong voice to cut through the noise from Washington and deliver for the people. So I stand here tonight doing just that. And as a mom of four teenagers, you guys know I'm not going to put up with the incompetent…

I’m not going to put up with the incompetent, whiny nonsense coming from aggrieved MAGA Republicans.

New Jersey will not be pushed around—not on my watch.

If you work with this guy, if you acquiesce, if you give up on your values so you can somehow gain a little traction today, you’re going to find in the future that you’ve given up everything.

Ruthless competence is what people in New Jersey want to see in government.

MAGA’s coming for New Jersey with Trump-endorsed Republican Jack Ciattarelli.

Ruthless competence is what people in New Jersey want to see in government.

At this moment, the fight is really in the states, that’s where the front line is.

Sometimes we get caught up in some of the concerns we have — which are huge, huge concerns — about what’s coming up in Washington, but don’t always remind people of the work we’re doing to drive down costs.

A lesson I learned in the Navy: The worst thing you can do is to run a ship aground.

to stand up to Trump and Musk with all I’ve got.

the most corrupt president this nation has ever had

In New Jersey, [it is] making sure that we are taking him to court, pushing back against these Medicaid cuts, clawing back federal funding back to New Jersey.

The lessons you learn are just taking it on. Don’t shrink from it; don’t back away.

And I was like, ‘What? Watch me,’

It’s changing. ... It is really rough and tumble.

Through building that huge coalition, I was able to win with the largest red-to-blue swing in the entire nation.

I certainly think that insiders are always making these calculations.
