Our Pillars

abackgroundof jersey first

Jersey 1st was founded by tax policy lawyer and advocate Rosemary Becchi in 2018 with the mission of being a voice for the hard-working people of New Jersey. From the beginning, Jersey 1st has worked to raise awareness of the social and economic impact of being over-taxed and over-regulated. We support policies, regulations, and laws that will take New Jersey in a better direction and support local officials who are committed to breaking this cycle. We are a voice for the families and businesses of New Jersey.
