New Jersey Organization for a Better State (NEW JOBS) PAC, which is the political voice of
business, proudly announced its endorsements for the 2021 State Legislative races today.

NEW JOBS is the State’s largest and most influential and ideological business political action committee. NEW JOBS is a nonpartisan organization whose trustees promote a pro-business climate in New Jersey by endorsing and supporting legislative candidates who actively support economic growth, the creation of private-sector jobs, and the lowering of business costs.

“With the announcement of these endorsements today, NEW JOBS is backing a slate of candidates for the New Jersey Legislature that will lead to greater pro-business policies in Trenton. We thank the endorsed candidates and endorsed incumbent legislators for their commitment to the economic
viability and competitiveness of our State,” Executive Director Chrissy Buteas said.

The endorsements made by NEW JOBS are NOT an endorsement from the New Jersey Business and Industry Association (NJBIA) nor any other individual company, industry group or trade association. While many business organizations like the NJBIA are affiliated with the NEW JOBS PAC, and represented on its Board of Trustees, the PAC is a separate entity run by its independent board.
