Phil Murphy on Families & Children

Introduce a new paid parental leave policy for state workers

Make New Jersey safest place to deliver and raise babies

Committed to more robust child-care support system

We all can contribute, including the differently abled

We will resist every move from President Trump and a misguided Congressional leadership that would worsen income inequality; or divide families or deny access to college for our Dreamers; or defund essential infrastructure; or gut health care for our children, seniors, and the working poor.

A stronger and fairer New Jersey is rooted in an economy that creates better jobs and provides higher wages ... that creates places where industries can grow and communities can rise, where innovative companies are born and where millennials want to live and where seniors want to retire ... and, which remembers that we all have value and we all can contribute, including, and especially, the differently abled.

Guarantee earned sick leave statewide

Phil will:
• Guarantee earned sick leave statewide, because no one should have to choose between a job and caring for a loved one.
• Ensure equal pay for equal work.
• Expand the EITC to 40 percent of federal level, so that working families can lift themselves out of poverty.
• Create a new child care and caregiver tax credit to alleviate the high cost of caring for a family in NJ.

Ensure that all workers have the right to earned sick leave
