Steve Sweeney's Bid for N.J. Governor Gains Momentum

Former Senate President Steve Sweeney has announced his bid for the Democratic nomination for governor in New Jersey in 2025. Sweeney, who emphasizes his commitment to fighting for vulnerable New Jerseyans and making the state more affordable, joins Jersey City Mayor Steven Fulop as the second announced Democratic candidate. Sweeney's campaign will focus on issues such as a tax system that benefits families, better public schools, increased funding for local police, and a constitutional amendment to protect legal abortion. He begins his bid with a strong political base in South Jersey and support from building trades unions, but his chances rely on an expanded field of candidates where South Jersey's influence is amplified.

The Impact of Chemical Spills on Drinking Water in Philadelphia and South Jersey

While attention has been focused on Philadelphia's drinking water after a chemical spill, utilities and state officials have been monitoring treatment plants that serve Camden and other parts of South Jersey. No contaminants have been detected in Camden's water so far from Friday's spill upstream at a chemical plant in Bristol, Bucks County. Camden gets most of its water from wells, but it gets additional water purchased from New Jersey American Water. The company is testing for compounds released during the spill at the intake for its treatment plant, throughout the plant's treatment process, and at the entry to the distribution system.
