The New Jersey Organization for a Better State (NEW JOBS) PAC, the leading political voice for business in the state, proudly announced its endorsements for the 2025 State Assembly primary races today.
NEW JOBS is the State’s largest and most influential business political action committee. It 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.
This is the first time NEW JOBS is making multiple endorsements for New Jersey primary races, due, in part, to the unusually high number of primary challenges to incumbents and changes in ballot design.
“NEW JOBS is pleased to back this slate of candidates for this year’s Assembly primary, which is an important first step to more pro-business policies in Trenton,” said NEW JOBS Chair Tony Bawidamann.
“We thank the endorsed incumbent legislators for their time and input during the interview process, and their commitment to the economic viability and competitiveness of our State.”
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 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.
