In the FY27 state budget we voted on this week, I am proud to have secured meaningful local investments that will directly benefit communities across LD7 and Burlington County.

While these line items are often labeled in disparaging ways that diminish their impact, the reality is they are real, targeted investments in recreation, public safety, infrastructure, and public works—projects that improve quality of life in our towns and for our families.

We advocated hard for funding across all of our LD7 municipalities. Not every request we fought for made it into the final budget, and that’s always part of the reality of a difficult budget year. But our work continues to make sure LD7 and Burlington County gets its fair share of investment and opportunity.
