“Congressman Payne leaves behind a remarkable legacy of leadership and principled public service,” said Governor Murphy. “Following in his father’s footsteps, the Congressman was a champion for working families all across the Garden State. During his many years of service to New Jersey, he tirelessly advocated for public health, safety, and infrastructure, and with each legislative victory, he improved the lives of millions of Americans. As Tammy and I mourn the loss of our dear friend, we are keeping Beatrice, their children, and all who knew and loved Congressman Payne in our prayers.”
