New Jersey · 2024: 108.8 · Rank #3 of 50, highest first · U.S. benchmark: 100

BEA regional price parity, relative to the overall national price level. The U.S. all-items index equals 100 each year. Measures prices across places within the same year, rather than annual inflation. For all items, 103 means about 3% above the national level. Category benchmarks can differ from 100; compare New Jersey with the published U.S. category value shown. Annual observations use December 31; monthly observations use the first of the month. Lines connect consecutive readings and do not supply values between them. Missing observations break the lines.

How major events are selected

The timeline combines the corresponding national fact’s reviewed event catalog, labeled National context, with individually reviewed state milestones. State events use primary sources and distinguish signing, effective and filing dates. Each milestone keeps its source-check date, geographical limits and evidence limits. This curated selection is not a complete history.

Date ranges affect events and actions. Action type, status and official-name search affect government records only. Events remain separate from action counts. An event after the latest observation extends context without creating a new reading.

How New Jersey action records are selected

Records come from published fact relationships or reviewed topic records with official supporting evidence and verified New Jersey officeholder attribution. Historical executive officials require evidence tied to the action date and are excluded from incumbent proposals. Inclusion follows an explicit topic review, a related state fact, or the action’s title and supporting evidence. Explicit topic reviews take priority; repeated actions use the most recent explicit review for this topic. Duplicate actions attached to several facts appear once. This topic match is not a new finding that an action caused a result, and the reviewed collection is selective. Collection reviewed Sep 4, 2026.

We must improve our nation’s health care system and first and foremost that means standing against the disgusting repeal efforts in Congress that would deny coverage to millions of people and raise costs on seniors and working families while giving tax breaks to billionaires. Instead, we need to work together to lower the cost of prescription drugs and ensure healthcare for all. I have been on the forefront of fighting to allow Medicare to negotiate prescription drug prices, limit the out-of-pocket costs to $35 a month for life saving insulin and reducing the cost of prescriptions for all families.

STOP PRIVATE EQUITY FROM JACKING UP HOUSING COSTS An entire generation of Americans are barely holding on to the homes they put their savings into buying — and we’re worried our kids won’t be able to buy homes at all. Hedge funds and private equity are buying up housing stock, turning homes into a commodity and driving up prices and rents. In Congress, I will champion the Homes for All Act to build 8.5 million units of public housing over the next 10 years. And I’ll go even further: I’ll pass a ban on hedge funds and private equity from buying homes — because corporations are not people.

If need be create citizens-owned grocery stores where profits can be used to lower prices, pay better wages, and re-invest into the community it serves instead of some random private bank account. Food chain suppliers (like grocery stores) have a unique duty to help feed America. That should be the priority. Not profit. If they cannot handle that responsibility in feeding America at a reasonable cost, we need to create our own stores.

How statements are selected

This section matches specific inflation, consumer prices and the cost of living terms in retained, attributed source text from published New Jersey candidate profiles. A profile heading or biography alone does not qualify. The Florida geography is fixed; saved state preferences cannot change these results. A mention can concern a community or group rather than Florida’s statewide measure.

Matching is automatic and does not establish a candidate’s stance, the accuracy of a claim, or an effect on the measured result. Results are grouped by recorded race, then by candidate name. Within each candidate, the matching issue mentions appear first. Only candidates with matching retained statements are shown; this is not a complete race roster. Repeated identical text for the same candidate is shown once. Coverage follows the existing state profiles and is not a complete record of all candidates or everything they have said. Review dates are not statement dates.

Requires that fuel stations specify taxes levied on motor fuel sales.

Jan 13, 2026 · Introduced · Referred to Assembly Transportation Committee

Assemblyman Robert Auth · Sponsored

FactVote reviewed summary

A526 would require fuel stations to disclose the taxes levied on motor-fuel sales.

A526 was introduced and referred to the Assembly Transportation and Independent Authorities Committee on January 13, 2026.

Why this record is included

Retained New Jersey evidence context: Central Atlantic regular gasoline price. This record’s connection to the topic does not establish an effect on the measured result.

The official synopsis says fuel stations would have to specify taxes levied on motor-fuel sales.

The official synopsis states that A533 eliminates the Treasurer's authority to adjust the petroleum-products gross-receipts tax annually.

What sponsorship and proposal counts tell us

Only current New Jersey officeholders retained in the reviewed collection qualify. Bills require a recorded primary sponsorship; cosponsors and signing officials are excluded from sponsorship counts. An official introducer recorded as acting by request is labeled “Introduced by request”; that procedural role does not establish personal policy endorsement. Governor and agency records qualify when recorded as proposed. A separately verified governor transmittal can also establish an original proposal whose latest status reflects its later outcome. Signing an enacted law alone does not establish a proposal. A record appearing under several facts is counted once per officeholder. A bill with multiple primary sponsors appears under each recorded sponsor.

Enacted bills, adopted resolutions and unsuccessful measures remain visible as proposal history. Passing one chamber is not enactment. These counts do not measure effectiveness or prove that an action changed a New Jersey statistic. Collection reviewed Sep 4, 2026.

Sources & methods

Every section retains its primary sources, units, reporting periods and comparison limits. Maps, graphs and tables use the same observation and cohort. All 50 states are listed; D.C. and territories are excluded. Missing and suppressed values remain unavailable and never become zero.

#1 is the highest measured value. Equal source values share a rank and leave gaps (1, 2, 2, 4). Ranks use source precision and are descriptive, not a score of the state. Survey uncertainty and reporting coverage can limit comparisons. Published U.S. benchmarks are used where available; a state average is not substituted.

New Jersey snapshots and fiscal sources keep their own dates and accounting scope. National events and federal distribution explainers describe national context. Actions and statements are filtered to New Jersey, retain their reviewed evidence, and do not establish that a policy caused a measured change.
