Election Center 2020
On Tuesday, November 2, 2021 voters in New Jersey will go to the polls to elect the Governor, the State Legislators; Senators (40 seats) and Assemblypersons (80 seats), County Commissioners and local candidates.
Every healthcare worker who is overwhelmed, overworked, and exhausted is counting on Safe Staffing Candidates to win. HPAE nurses and health professionals are ready to knock on doors and make phone calls to inform union members and voters that it is time to elect Candidates who support safe staffing in healthcare.
Debbie White, President of HPAE
Among the issues and votes HPAE members examined were support or opposition of:
- S1083 / A2439: establishes minimum registered professional nurse staffing standards for hospitals and ambulatory surgery facilities and certain DHS facilities.
- S2991/A4803: requires the New Jersey Office of Emergency Management to establish a process to evaluate and approve personal protective equipment (PPE) for use during public health emergencies and requires NJ to create PPE stockpiles for the State.
- Requiring healthcare facilities to produce and implement a pandemic preparedness plan that is reviewed and approved by NJ regulators.
