Candidate Surveys 2025

Each election year, NCAAR invites candidates running for public office in New Jersey to share their opinions on substance use disorder through our “Prevention, Treatment and Recovery” survey to provide voters with insight into candidate perspectives while promoting transparency within the political process.

In 2025 seats are up for election in both the Assembly and the Governor’s office, which means over 150 surveys were sent asking candidates to outline their priorities on critical issues, such as opioid settlement funding, and access to care for individuals with substance use disorder. See what they had to say below.
