Assemblywoman Michele Matsikoudis, who represents New Jersey’s 21st Legislative District, used her social media platform on September 15, 2025, to address key issues affecting residents and highlight her legislative initiatives.
In a morning post, Matsikoudis discussed economic challenges facing New Jersey families and outlined her approach to fiscal reform. She wrote, “Good morning, LD-21! It’s no secret that NJ families are facing an affordability crisis, and we need real reform in Trenton to address it. On today’s episode of #MondaysWithMichele, learn more about my support for zero-based budgeting practices to rein in reckless spending.” This message was posted on September 15, 2025.
Later the same day, Matsikoudis encouraged constituents to engage with her work and stay informed about her activities. She stated, “Be sure to use this link to view my full legislative portfolio, sign up for my office newsletter, and follow me on my other social media platforms: https://t.co/5qph09tqkD”.
In an evening post on September 15, 2025, Matsikoudis recognized the sacrifices of American service members. She wrote, “Today, we honor the courage of Americans who were Prisoners Of War, and pay tribute to those who remain Missing In Action. May they never be forgotten and may their families know peace. #POWMIARecognitionDay”.
Zero-based budgeting is a financial planning process that requires all expenses to be justified for each new period. It has been promoted by some lawmakers as a method for increasing government accountability and controlling public spending.
Matsikoudis serves in the New Jersey General Assembly representing District 21. The district includes parts of Union County and is home to diverse communities concerned with state fiscal policies and veterans’ affairs.
