What about the kids? 2025 election campaign
This 2025 Election campaign season, we must ensure that candidates for Governor and the General Assembly put children’s issues at the top of their agenda. What happens in this election will determine outcomes for the nearly two million kids who call New Jersey home.
Join the What About the Kids? 2025 election campaign to raise awareness on children's issues and help shape the focus and priorities of those elected to the legislature in November.
ASK THE CANDIDATES! Let's ask our future lawmakers where they stand on kids' issues.
As Congress debates on the next federal fiscal budget, action is needed to ensure children and families are protected from potential cuts, especially to Medicaid. Be sure to sign the petition to tell Congress "NO cuts on Medicaid" and stay tuned for advocacy efforts.
The state budget season begins the day the Governor gives his budget address, usually in early March, and ends when the NJ Legislature passes the budget. The deadline to pass the budget is June 30th.

For over four decades, Advocates for Children of New Jersey (ACNJ) has been the trusted, independent voice for children across the Garden State. ACNJ is non-partisan and accepts no state funding for advocacy, giving us the freedom to speak up for children who have no voice and no vote. Our only agenda is putting the needs of children first.
