Congressman Van Drew: This Gas Tax Increase Is a Punch in the Gut to New Jersey Families

Rep. Van Drew calls on Governor Murphy and Governor-elect Sherrill to reverse the upcoming gas tax hike. Washington, DC –Today, Congressman Van Drew released the following statement regarding the state’s outrageous gas tax hike to nearly 50 cents per gallon beginning January 1st.”New Jersey families are getting hit from every direction,” said Congressman Van Drew. “Thanks to state leadership, utility bills are up, delivery fees are up, and now they are raising the gas tax again. We already have one of the highest gas taxes in America. Raising it is the last thing working people need. This is a direct result of the policies that Governor Murphy signed into law, which make these tax hikes more likely year after year. They refuse to control their spending, so instead, they stick the bill on hardworking families. Let me be clear: talking about affordability means nothing if you stay silent when the state keeps raising taxes. Governor-elect Mikie Sherrill and Governor Murphy must reverse this hike immediately. People are tired of being punished for the state’s own failures, especially when the rest of the country is seeing gas prices go down.”

Running a small business in Gloucester City means juggling many roles, owner, marketer, customer liaison, and sometimes even accountant. Some entrepreneurs partner with professionals like a small business accountant to handle finances, freeing up time to focus on growing their brand. But visibility isn’t just about dollars and cents; it’s about being seen, trusted, and remembered by local customers. If your business could use a boost, here are actionable tips to help small businesses in Gloucester City shine without needing a huge budget.

Why Visibility Matters Locally

Before diving into strategies, it helps to understand why visibility is essential, especially in tight-knit communities like ours:

Most customers start locally: They search for “near me,” see what friends recommend, or just walk around and notice signage.
Trust comes from consistency: Businesses that appear regularly, online, in person, in their neighborhoods, feel more reliable.
Word-of-mouth is powerful: A satisfied local customer can bring in several others; reputation spreads fast in smaller communities.

With that in mind, here are ways to improve visibility effectively.
