New Start New Jersey is a nonprofit organization founded by Phil Murphy, a Middletown resident and former U.S. Ambassador to Germany. Jon Bon Jovi participated in a panel discussion of the issues affecting his home state of NJ after the announcement of this new organization took place. The panel covered topics ranging from the continuing rise of the cost of living, to the loss of middle class jobs (most recently the closure of casinos in Atlantic City), to the need to make education more affordable and accessible to today’s youth.
