ON THE ISSUES
Abortion and Reproductive Freedom
Sean will always stand for a woman’s right to make her own health care decisions and to have agency over her own body. He’ll fight back against Project 2025 and its attempts to ban abortions, contraceptives, and IVF, and to its plan to have the government track pregnancies to persecute women. He’ll make sure that survivors of rape, incest, and human trafficking always have all the support they need from New Jersey.
Affordability and the Economy
Inflation has made life too expensive for New Jerseyans from gas prices to the grocery store. Sean will create an economy that works for all New Jerseyans with higher wages, more jobs, and lower costs.
Jobs and Labor
It’s hard to be more pro-worker than a labor leader like Sean. He will work hard to make New Jersey the best state in the country for new jobs and small businesses. And Sean will be a champion for our workforce, unions, and the right to collectively bargain better wages and living conditions for New Jerseyans.
Education
A career teacher, no candidate for governor cares more deeply or personally about education than Sean. New Jersey has the second ranked pre-K-12 education system in the country with Sean serving as a leading voice on education policy as the President of the NJEA. When he’s serving as governor, we’ll boost that ranking to first.
Health Care
Health care is a human right, and Sean will do everything in his power to reduce the cost of health insurance and prescription drugs for New Jerseyans.
Democracy
The right to vote is sacred, and is too often weaponized by MAGA extremists against people of color and young people. Sean will make voting easy, fast, and accessible for all New Jerseyans and he’ll ensure that our votes are counted fairly even when people like Donald Trump try to overturn the will of the people.
LGBTQIA+ Rights
Sean is a strong ally to the LGBTQIA+ community, and will always fight for their right to marry who they love, to start a family, and to be free from discrimination by employers or corporations.
Gun Violence Prevention
Sean has had to watch too many students partake in active shooter drills. He supports commonsense gun violence prevention measures that will keep our schools, streets, homes, and common spaces free from mass violence.
Housing
It took Sean over a year to find a house that he could afford in New Jersey, and even then he had to rent out part of his house for years to come. He understands as well as anyone that we need to reduce housing costs if we want a New Jersey that we can afford, and our children will one day be able to live in.
