The political system in New Jersey is broken. Government is dominated by those with money and power and, far too often, the public is entirely shut out. The Good Government Coalition of New Jersey (GGCNJ) is a nonpartisan, grassroots group whose mission is to strengthen democracy by working with residents across our state to bring greater transparency, accountability, and participation to our state and local governments.
