To the Editor:

If you care about education, veterans, and the environment, vote for Andrew Zwicker for the New Jersey Assembly on November 7. Zwicker, a physicist at Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory, has ably represented District 16 for two years.

Using his professional expertise, Zwicker has championed the causes of education, particularly science education, the environment, and open space.

He sponsored legislation to establish science and technology fellowships, and legislation to make it easier for the military and veterans to go to college. His bill to forgive student debt when a student dies or is disabled was recently enacted into law.

Zwicker’s environmental accomplishments include introducing a bill urging New Jersey to meet the goals of the Paris Climate Accord. This bill passed the Assembly. His bills to preserve farmland in the four counties he represents (Hunterdon, Mercer, Middlesex, Somerset) were recently signed into law.

With Washington turning its back on education and protecting the environment, it is more important than ever that the legislators we send to Trenton reflect our values.

I urge you to reelect Andrew Zwicker for the New Jersey Assembly on November 7.
