Issue Position: Holding Exxon Accountable

Issue Position

Jamel is a strong believer in accountability and has converted this belief into action by signing onto Assembly Bill ACR226 condemning and rejecting the $225 million dollar settlement in the lawsuit with Exxon where the damages had originally been more than $8.5 billion. The low settlement has been attributed to political dealings but Jamel, however, is not willing to put politics above the well being of people. He is standing with other members of the legislature in condemnation of the minute offerings in what would be a historically low settlement for damages that would affect generations of New Jersey residents in his district.
