Jersey 1st was founded by tax policy lawyer and advocate Rosemary Becchi in 2018 with the mission of educating and serving the hard-working people of NJ by advocating for responsible policies that will make New Jersey a better state to work, learn, live, and retire. We strive to raise awareness of the social and economic effects of being overtaxed, over-regulated and the misuse of our state’s resources. Jersey 1st supports policies, laws, and organizations committed to breaking this cycle and driving NJ toward a better future.
