Rosemary Becchi, the founder and president of Jersey 1st and the New Jersey Policy Institute, joins Constance Ditzel. A former U.S. Senate Finance Committee tax counsel who co-authored the 529 college savings plans and a 2020 congressional candidate, Becchi breaks down New Jersey’s affordability crisis — soaring energy bills, high taxes, and policies that are driving families and businesses out of the state. Straight talk on what’s heating up in Trenton and what it will take to make New Jersey a place people can actually live, work, and retire.

In this episode of New Jersey Statehouse Watch, Joe LoPorto — Director of Legal Operations for the New Jersey Firearm Owners Syndicate and NRA-ILA State Director — joins Jack Brangan and Constance Ditzel for a clear-eyed look at the deliberately punitive process New Jersey forces law-abiding citizens through just to obtain a concealed carry permit. From sky-high fees, endless bureaucratic delays, and subjective “character” reviews to the web of sensitive-place restrictions that strip the right of any practical value, Joe walks through how the state continues to punish gun owners even after recent court wins—and what everyday New Jerseyans can actually do about it.

Assemblyman Mike Inganamort (LD-24) joins Jack Brangan and Constance Ditzel.

The real threat to New Jersey isn’t coming from outside. It’s coming from inside the Statehouse — from the Democrats who control Trenton.

In this episode, the freshman Assemblyman from northwest New Jersey breaks down what’s really happening with the budget, local control, and the policies being pushed through by the majority party.

Straight talk. No spin.
