If the bill passes into state law, candidates who do not meet this requirement will not be eligible for the ballot in New Jersey. To become law, the bill must now pass the New Jersey General Assembly and then be signed by Democratic Gov. Phil Murphy, the Courier Post reported.

Can we please recall the entire NJ State Government? Perhaps we could try again in 50 yrs.
I love it. Governor Murphy is carrying out every one of his promises. Finally a politician that keeps his word. I would like to thank all the absolutely brilliant askanim who promoted and supported this gem of a man. Enjoy. Good bye New Jersey.
NJ is the highest taxed State in the Nation.
