Assembly Republican Leader Jon Bramnick commended the Assembly’s bipartisan unity in opposing oil and gas drilling off New Jersey’s coast. The Shore-protection resolution was overwhelmingly approved with a 71-2 vote.
“This is a clear message to those who want to do offshore drilling at our New Jersey shore,” said Bramnick (R-Union). “Our voice is unified and strong. We stand together, we oppose it, it is simply wrong and as we all know the Jersey Shore is sacred ground. This is a very special place.”

Bramnick lauds passage of Stephen Komninos’ Law
TRENTON, N.J. – Assembly Republican Leader Jon Bramnick (R-Union) released the following statement today after Gov. Christie signed the “Stephen Komninos’ Law” to strengthen protections for people with developmental disabilities. The legislation is named for the 22-year-old who died as a result of abuse and neglect in a local group home for individuals with developmental disabilities:
“No one, especially the vulnerable, should be subjected to the abusive treatment this young man endured. This law will strengthen protections for people with developmental disabilities by requiring more state oversight and transparency.”

Bramnick Endorsed by non-partisan NEW JOBS PAC for his work to create jobs in New Jersey
WESTFIELD, N.J. – NEW JOBS PAC has announced its endorsement of Assembly Republican Leader Jon Bramnick for reelection in the 21st legislative district.
“I am deeply honored to receive the endorsement of NEW JOBS PAC,” said Bramnick (R-Union). “Only by getting the government out of the way can we get the economy back on track and allow the private sector to create jobs. I look forward to working with NEW JOBS in the next year to create an environment where New Jersey businesses can thrive.
The non-partisan NEW JOBS PAC, New Jersey’s largest business political action committee, promotes a pro-business climate in New Jersey by endorsing and supporting legislative candidates who actively support economic growth, the creation of private-sector jobs, and lowering the cost of doing business.

Joint effort on Amazon demonstrates need for Bramnick bipartisan legislation
TRENTON, N.J. – Assembly Republican Leader Jon Bramnick said yesterday’s announcement that Democrat and Republican leaders in the Assembly and Senate are joining together with the governor to attract Amazon to New Jersey demonstrates that when all the leaders in government work together the state benefits.
“Joint efforts on both sides of the aisle are extremely important to the success of government,” said Bramnick (R-Union). “Our united effort on Amazon is an example of government at its best. We are working together to help provide the shot in the arm our economy needs.
“That is why I previously introduced a bill requiring quarterly meetings with the four legislative leaders and the governor,” Bramnick continued. “Corporations are required to hold board of director meetings. The state should also be required to report to the people. I encourage the public to contact their representatives urging them to support the legislation.”
Bramnick’s bill (A3691) specifically calls for the Senate president and minority leader and the Assembly speaker and minority leader to meet with the governor at least once a quarter of each calendar year to discuss the state of the state, pending legislation, ideas for legislation, public policy issues, and any matter of interest to residents. Following a private session, the meeting will be open to the public where people can ask questions. The leaders will also issue a joint statement highlighting their progress.
LEGISLATIVE LEADERS PLEDGE BIPARTISAN COMMITMENT TO BRING AMAZON’S HQ2 CORPORATE HEADQUARTERS TO NEW JERSEY
“New Jersey is a natural fit for Amazon. We have the real-estate options and competitive incentives to build HQ2, and the talent to fill every job Amazon has to offer. This is a proposal lawmakers on both sides of the aisle can come together on, show unity and help provide the shot in the arm our economy needs.” – Assembly Republican Leader Jon Bramnick

Bramnick endorsed by National Federation of Independent Business for his work protecting small businesses and free enterprise
WESTFIELD, N.J. – The National Federation of Independent Business has announced its endorsement of Assembly Republican Leader Jon Bramnick for reelection in the 21st legislative district.
“I appreciate NFIB’s support and endorsement,” said Bramnick (R-Union). “We need to get our economy back on track and the best way to do that is by getting the government out of the way so small businesses can create jobs. I look forward to working with NFIB next year to bring relief to small businesses across New Jersey and to create an environment where those businesses can thrive.”
NFIB is the nation’s leading advocate for small business owners representing nearly 7,000 members in New Jersey. The group endorses candidates based on their voting record on key small-business issues identified by its members such as health care, taxes, labor and regulatory issues.

Bramnick seeks 60 votes for emergency action to stop court-mandated high-density housing litigation
“I am aggressively moving forward to protect towns and help mayors and councils stop court-mandated high-density housing by urging my colleagues to pass Assemblywoman Holly Schepisi’s legislative solution,” said Bramnick (R-Union). “With every passing day municipalities are incurring unrecoverable expense from these unnecessary lawsuits. This is a bi-partisan issue that has dire consequences. The legislature should take action now.”

Bramnick: Lawmakers should be fined for government shutdown
TRENTON, N.J. – Assembly Republican Leader Jon Bramnick is calling for a new law that would fine state lawmakers $250 a day for failing to meet the annual budget deadline, which forces a government shutdown. He plans to draft the legislation today.
“When there is no budget and no compromise, lawmakers should pay a penalty,” said Assemblyman Bramnick (R-Union). “When residents are penalized by a government shutdown, legislators should also be penalized for failing to agree on how to meet the financial obligations of the state.”

“No one with health insurance should be denied coverage when seeking assistance for a drug addiction,” said Bramnick (R-Union). “People reaching out for help need immediate assistance. The do not have the luxury of waiting weeks for an insurance carrier to decide if their treatment is eligible for coverage. Drug overdose deaths have risen by double digits in New Jersey. This is a serious problem that demands action now.”

Bramnick honors students and first responders for saving student’s life
Student saved with defibrillator provided by Janet’s Law
WARREN TWP, N.J. – Warren Township residents Karen and Jim Zilinski and Assembly Republican Leader Jon Bramnick worked for six years to get lifesaving defibrillators into every school. Janet’s Law was passed and signed by Gov. Chris Christie in 2012 in memory of the tragic loss of the Zilinski’s 11-year old daughter who collapsed at a cheerleading practice and passed-away in 2006.
At the Warren Township Board of Education meeting last night, it was revealed that another child from Janet’s school was saved by two students who performed CPR and used a defibrillator.
“We were successful and 16 lives have been saved since the law was passed,” said Bramnick (R-Union) whose 21st Legislative District includes Warren Township. “The quick thinking of those students saved yet another life. I want to thank the Zilinski family for their tireless efforts in passing a law that has saved lives. I’m proud to have worked with them.”

GOP Leaders Call for Action on Pressing Issues Facing New Jersey
Trenton, N.J. – Assembly GOP Leader Jon Bramnick and Assembly GOP Whip Anthony Bucco implored Democrats today to fix major issues facing the state. After having a majority in the Assembly for 15 years, the same problems – property taxes, school funding, affordable housing – have only gotten worse.
“We’ve had Watergate. We’ve had Bridgegate. Now we have Democrats who should be investigated for Do Nothing-gate,” said Bramnick (R-Union).
“The majority party has lost focus on what’s really important to New Jersey and our constituents,” said Bucco (R-Morris). “Clearly the biggest issue we face here in New Jersey is affordability.”

Panel advances Bramnick bill creating diversion program for veterans with special circumstances
TRENTON, N.J. – Legislation (A-4362/S-307) sponsored by Assembly Republican Leader Jon Bramnick, creating a statewide veteran’s diversion program that ensures a veteran’s special circumstances are taken into account following an arrest, was approved today by the Assembly Military and Veterans’ Affairs Committee. The vote was 5-0-1.
“Incarcerating a veteran suffering from post-traumatic stress or any mental health illness serves no purpose,” said Bramnick (R-Union). “Men and women who serve our nation with honor deserve a chance to get the help they need. This bill is a common sense alternative to the traditional criminal justice process for eligible veterans.”
Under the program, a veteran who has committed a crime or has been previously diagnosed with a service-related mental illness may be diverted away from the criminal justice system and into appropriate case management and mental health services.
Prosecutors will determine eligibility for the program by considering the relationship between the mental illness and the offense.
The bill also establishes a veterans diversion resource center in each county. The centers will provide screening, counseling and treatment to eligible service members and are required to provide law enforcement officials with status reports regarding participation and recovery progress.

Bramnick: calls on Democrats to submit funding proposal fair for all towns
Westfield, N.J. – Assembly Republican Leader Jon Bramnick (R-Union) released the following statement today challenging Democrat’s to submit a proposal to make school funding more fair.
“Governor Christie and many Republicans have supported changing how we fund schools. The Democrats may disagree with us that each student should receive $6,599, but they remain silent on any change. We are all aware that lowering property taxes must start with changing the school funding formula.
I call upon my friends across the aisle to submit a proposal to make school funding more fair to all towns.”

Bramnick calls for standing cybersecurity committee
TRENTON, N.J. – Assembly Republican Leader Jon Bramnick today called for a standing legislative committee on cybercrime and cybersecurity. The committee would focus on laws and policies aimed at protecting New Jersey’s businesses, local government and citizens.
“Computer viruses, hackers and other technology-related incidents affect our lives in ways that range from inconvenient to life-threatening,” said Bramnick (R-Union). “As our dependence on data networks increases, cybercriminals find new opportunities to exploit people. A standing committee focused on these constant changes would help the state better protect the public.”
Cyberattacks are an increasing threat in New Jersey:
– Four Atlantic City online casino gaming sites were targeted by a hacker last July, who promised further disruption unless a ransom was paid in Bitcoin.
– Hackers crippled Rutgers University computer networks at least four times in 2014 and 2015.
– Horizon Blue Cross Blue Shield of New Jersey notified nearly 840,000 members in 2013 that their personal information may have been compromised after laptops were stolen from the company’s Newark headquarters.
– In April 2015, the international activist group Anonymous shut down several law-enforcement sites and released the names, home addresses and phone numbers of police officers after the death of a Vineland resident who died while in police custody.
The 2015 annual report by the FBI’s Internet Crime Complaint Center found that New Jersey suffered the 8th highest number of cyberattacks of any state, which accounts for the 9th largest financial loss in the country.

Bramnick: Watch out for fake IRS callers
WESTFIELD, N.J. –Assembly Republican Leader Jon Bramnick has received reports of attempted fraud by people impersonating IRS investigators. Scammers, claiming to be from the IRS, make unsolicited called demanding payment for fake tax bills to get cash, usually through a debit bard or wire transfer from their victims.
“No other scam has continued to persist as long as the IRS scam,” said Bramnick (R-Union). “Don’t be fooled. The IRS would never call about taxes owed without first having mailed you a bill, nor would it ask for credit or debit card numbers over the phone. If you get one of these surprising phone calls, hand up and report it to authorities immediately.”
The IRS’s website suggest reporting incidents to the Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration at https://www.treasury.gov/tigta/contact_report_scam.shtml or by calling 800-366-4484.

N.J. Assembly Republicans promise aggressive challenge to Democrats in November
Matt Friedman, NJ Advance Media
June 03, 2015
TRENTON — With the primaries over and the general election season upon us, state Assembly Minority Leader Jon Bramnick has a big challenge.
Bramnick (R-Union) wants to be Assembly speaker. That means in November — when all 80 Assembly seats at the top of the ballot — he’ll need to flip at least nine Democratic-held seats to win Republicans a majority in the lower house for the first time since Democrats took over in 2002.
He’ll have to do that in what’s expected to be a low-turnout election in a state with 700,000 more registered Democrats than Republicans. With a legislative district map that was drawn by Democrats, and with a Republican governor who will likely be mounting a GOP presidential primary bid and whose New Jersey approval rating — at least right now — is in the 30s. Not to mention Democrats’ two-to-one fundraising advantage.
But Bramnick says he’s up to the challenge.
“I’m going to be very, very aggressive as to the failures of the Democratic Legislature,” he said. “I’m going need a little help from (the media) pointing out that they’ve been in charge for 13 years. That’s the only request I make.”

Bramnick Officially Kicks Off Campaign for Republican Majority
With over 150 local supporters this morning, Assembly Republican Leader Jon Bramnick officially launched the Assembly Republicans’ campaign for a majority in next legislature. The day began with a kick-off rally in Bergen County with Bergen GOP Chairman Robert Yudin and Republican Assembly members: David Rible, Scott Rumana, Anthony Bucco, Nancy Munoz, Caroline Casagrande, Jack Ciattarelli, Holly Schepisi, Jay Webber and Robert Auth.
“The people of New Jersey want more jobs and less taxes. Assembly Republicans are the team that can deliver. Assembly Democrats have had over a decade to provide tax relief, but the opposite happened: taxes have gone up,” said Bramnick.
The Republican members then took the kick-off to Hudson County with Hudson GOP Chairman Jose Arango. The Assembly Republicans first visited a number of Hispanic-American owned small businesses in West New York.
“In West New York we saw great community businesses that serve their close-knit neighborhood well. But we hear from them that things should be easier in New Jersey,” said Bramnick. “Making it easier for local small businesses to thrive is key to a stronger New Jersey.”
The Assembly Republicans ended the day in Jersey City with community leaders and local Republicans.
“We are taking the campaign to every corner of the state. Our message resonates with every voter in New Jersey. Republicans are the party of cutting waste, lowering taxes and creating jobs. That is what the campaign for the Assembly is about,” said Bramnick, concluding the day’s events.
Bramnick said he looks forward to traveling around the state throughout the year bringing the Assembly Republicans message of more jobs and less taxes to the people of New Jersey.
