Tammy Murphy in Survey of 2024 Senate campaign websites

On Education: Led charge to put place a climate curriculum in schools

As First Lady, Tammy Murphy led the charge to put in place a climate curriculum in schools, making New Jersey the first and only state in the nation to do so. Because teaching our kids about climate change can make a difference in their ability to succeed in our changing economy. Tammy also works with the Council on the Green Economy to transition New Jersey to renewable energy and train workers for good-paying jobs in the growing clean energy economy. Source: 2024 N.J.

On Energy & Oil: Serves on board of Al Gore's Climate Reality Fund

For decades, Tammy's been a leader in the fight against climate change because she knows that the environment our kids grow up in can be the difference in childhood asthma rates, cancer diagnoses, and so many other things. More than 15 years ago, Al Gore asked Tammy to partner with him on his work to combat climate change and she still serves on the board of directors of his organization, The Climate Reality Fund.

On Families & Children: Rooted out institutional racism in pregnancy & childbirth

Pregnancy and childbirth were not easy, but Tammy never questioned if she would survive, or if her babies would get the best care available. That was in great part due to her privilege and the color of her skin. So when Tammy became First Lady, she went to work and launched the Nurture NJ Maternal and Infant Health program to root out the institutional racism that Black and Brown women face in pregnancy and childbirth to reduce preventable deaths.
