Governor-elect Mikie Sherrill

Paterson, NJ — Today in Paterson, Governor-elect Mikie Sherrill announced the launch of a statewide public input survey, inviting every New Jerseyan to share their ideas, concerns, and priorities as she continues to build her incoming administration.  
 
The survey—available through the official transition website—will help guide the development of policy recommendations and support the administration’s focus on making New Jersey a more affordable, accessible, and opportunity-driven place to live. 

“As we begin our work, I want to hear directly from the people of New Jersey,” said Governor-elect Mikie Sherrill. “Our state is full of families, workers, educators, entrepreneurs, and community leaders with firsthand experience navigating our state government. Their insights will help us build a government that is collaborative, creative, and laser-focused on affordability. This survey is one of the many ways we intend to ensure that every voice has a place in shaping our administration, and in shaping New Jersey’s future.” 

The survey asks residents to provide input on issues related to state government efficiency, accountability, and responsiveness. Feedback from the submissions will be reviewed by the transition’s Action Teams and Interdisciplinary Task Force, charged with generating actionable ideas and recommendations for the incoming administration. 

Lieutenant Governor-elect Dale Caldwell, Chair of the Gubernatorial Transition, emphasized the importance of public participation: “Governor-elect Sherrill is committed to opening the doors of state government wider than ever before. This survey allows New Jerseyans to share what’s working, what isn’t, and what they want to see from their state government moving forward.” 

Kellie Doucette, Executive Director of the Transition, added: “The Sherrill-Caldwell administration is taking a ‘get to yes’ mindset to governing—looking for creative, practical solutions driven by the experiences of everyday New Jerseyans. The feedback we receive will directly inform our work and help ensure we are prioritizing what matters most to residents across all of our 21 counties.” 

The survey is open now and can be completed in just a few minutes. All New Jersey residents are encouraged to participate and share it widely within their communities.
