Sweeney's campaign website highlights the following issues:
Steve fundamentally believes that effective investments in areas like transportation and education creates jobs and long-term economic growth for our state. You cannot starve New Jersey’s economy to health.
Investment in transportation is core to creating and sustaining a strong middle class in New Jersey. Senator Sweeney is committed to the expansion of the nation’s most relied upon mass transit system, including light rail, fixing our crumbling roads and bridges, updating our port infrastructure and freight rail systems to transport cargo efficiently.
Senator Sweeney believes that our colleges and universities are the key to economic growth and opportunity. Keeping New Jersey’s best and brightest students in New Jersey is a top priority, which means keeping our institutions of higher education competitive and affordable.
New Jersey’s has one of the nation’s premiere K-12 public educations systems because of our unyielding commitment to investing in our children. Senator Sweeney is committed to providing children in New Jersey with an opportunity to reach their fullest potential.
Senator Sweeney has taken the lead on trying to fix our pension system to ensure it remains healthy for workers who have contributed to it over their careers, and for those whose retirements depend on it.
