For Immediate Release

Trenton, NJ – According to reports over the weekend, the Murphy Administration continues to struggle with fulfilling the unemployment claims of suffering New Jersey residents. Legislators continue to grow frustrated with the lack of communication with Murphy’s staff at the Department of Labor.

In response to these reports, NJGOP Chairman Doug Steinhardt released the following statement:

“Whether it’s fulfilling obligations to the 1.3 million unemployed residents or keeping our veteran and senior populations safe, Governor Murphy is failing at fulfilling the basic obligations of state government. If he can’t execute on the X’s and O’s of basic governing, we will never be able to count on him to solve our big picture problems. Phil Murphy continues to exemplify executive incompetence. He must go.”
