Sherrill Announces Ambitious Action Teams, Seeks Public Input to Shape New Jersey’s Future

[TRENTON, NJ] – Governor-elect Mikie Sherrill unveiled a comprehensive and collaborative initiative designed to chart a new course for New Jersey, emphasizing a focus on affordability and tackling the state’s key challenges. The initiative, launched as Sherrill prepares to take office, includes a three-pronged approach to policy development and is designed to include the ideas and input of New Jersyans.

The first phase is the creation of ten Action Teams, composed of New Jersey and national experts with diverse backgrounds. These teams will tackle priority areas for the incoming administration and meet regularly to engage directly with stakeholders, including small businesses, commuters, parents, and students.

In addition to the Action Teams, Sherrill will establish an Interdisciplinary Advisory Task Force, bringing together representatives from labor, business, veterans, environmental groups, healthcare, education, and other key sectors. This Task Force will provide input to the Governor-elect and the Action Teams, ensuring a broad range of perspectives are considered in policy development.

Importantly, the Governor-elect is also seeking direct public participation through a statewide Transition Survey. New Jersey residents will be invited to share their ideas and priorities for the next administration. This survey is designed to make all New Jersyans voices heard.

The transition process will also incorporate formal input from local elected officials and stakeholders across various industries and non-profit sectors, including higher education, hospital systems, small businesses, and those working on housing and food insecurity.

“This approach to transition policy marks a different kind of leadership in Trenton – one grounded in collaboration between government and a diverse array of sectors, a ‘get to yes’ mentality, and a relentless focus on affordability and the cost of living,” said Sherrill in a statement. The Action Teams will consider all feedback received and provide recommendations to Sherrill on enacting her agenda, with a strong emphasis on lowering costs and addressing the opportunities and challenges facing the state. Sherrill’s office stated that the goal is to work together as New Jerseyans to tackle these issues.
