This week on NJ Power & Politics:

It's been about a month since Democratic Assemblyman Craig Coughlin took over as the new speaker of the State Assembly. He's hit the ground running, introducing a plan to fight hunger, help with energy assistance -- and he testified in favor of his bill to protect patients from surprise out-of-network medical bills. He talks with host Eric Landskroner about his upcoming priorities.

Republican Assemblyman Jay Webber announced he will run to fill the Rep. Rodney Frelinghuysen's seat, who declared he won't run for re-election this year in District 11. Webber talks about why he's running -- and what he thinks about some of Gov. Murphy's actions so far.

Patrick Murray of Monmouth University Polling Institute gives us his take on the friction that surfaced this week between Senate President Steve Sweeney and Gov. Murphy, plus what voters are saying about the Mueller investigation and helping DACA recipients.
