03-22-20 State of NJ and Bob Menedez Resource Guide


Friends,

The number of COVID-19 cases in our state continues to grow, and my prayers are with the New Jersey families who have lost loved ones to this pandemic. These tragedies remind us that we must all take state and federal social distancing measures seriously, even if they are inconvenient. We must be part of the solution or else we will be part of the statistics.  

As always, I am going to put the needs of New Jerseyans first. I’ve compiled some resources below to help.

 

Stay safe and healthy,

Bob Menendez
