TRENTON, N.J. — Governor-elect Mikie Sherrill on Tuesday announced the launch of a statewide public input survey aimed at gathering ideas, concerns and priorities from New Jersey residents as she continues building her incoming administration.
The survey, available through the official transition website, is intended to help shape policy recommendations and guide efforts to make New Jersey more affordable, accessible and opportunity-driven, according to the transition team.
“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 invites residents to weigh in on matters related to government efficiency, accountability and responsiveness. Responses will be reviewed by the transition’s Action Teams and its Interdisciplinary Task Force, which are charged with producing actionable recommendations for the new administration.
Lieutenant Governor-elect Dale Caldwell, chair of the gubernatorial transition, said public participation is essential. “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, said the incoming administration is focused on practical, resident-driven solutions. “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 takes only a few minutes to complete. New Jersey residents are encouraged to participate and to share it within their communities.
