Urges New Jersey to reverse its scheduled gas tax increase

Jefferson Van Drew called on Governor Murphy and Governor-elect Mikie Sherrill to reverse New Jersey’s gas tax increase, which was scheduled to raise the tax to nearly 50 cents per gallon beginning January 1, 2026. He argues that the increase would burden working families and criticizes the state’s spending policies. This is a call for action by New Jersey officials, not a proposal for a federal tax change.

Context: The statement addresses New Jersey’s state gas tax and does not specify how officials should reverse the increase.

In their own words

Governor-elect Mikie Sherrill and Governor Murphy must reverse this hike immediately.
