Jan. 14, 2020: Gov. Phil Murphy during the State of the State address one year ago
Gov. Phil Murphy is set to make a routine speech Tuesday to mark what was anything but a routine year.
This year’s State of the State address comes as the COVID-19 pandemic continues to exact a deadly toll and as the state’s economy is anything but certain. In the speech, Murphy is expected to talk largely about the prospects for the economy in the coming year. The address will also serve as the backdrop for a personal Murphy milestone: his reelection bid.
