In Episode 22 of the Union Strong: NJSPBA Voices Podcast, hosted by Vinny Rizzo, listeners continue listening to a seven-part series covering the platforms of all gubernatorial candidates ahead of the June primaries. This series, including episodes 18 through 24, stems from the Mini Convention held in early March where each candidate presented their platforms and participated in a Q&A session moderated by PBA lobbyist Rob Nixon. This episode features opening remarks by NJSPBA President Peter Andreyev and discusses the new election day voting process changes. The candidate to speak today is former Senate President Steve Sweeney, who dives into his plans regarding pensions, healthcare reform, and bail reform, followed by a direct Q&A where he responds to concerns from the delegates.
