AARP New Jersey: Countdown to Election Day

October 8, 2025

As we head into a critical election season, making informed choices at the ballot box has never been more important. To help New Jersey voters get ready, AARP is launching a statewide effort to provide trusted, nonpartisan information about the candidates and issues that matter most, from health care and retirement security to caregiving and community safety.

Joining us now is Chris Widelo, State Director for AARP New Jersey, to tell us more about this initiative and how AARP is helping voters feel confident and informed before they cast their ballots.
