Congrats on the citizenship. It's initially a bit difficult to get into (local) politics but I'd first make sure you know where your polling station will be and what will be on your specific ballot. You can just use the official NJ state gov site (https://www.nj.gov/state/elections/vote.shtml) to find out more information. If you're curious about what your ballot looks like online visit this site (https://ballotpedia.org/Sample_Ballot_Lookup)

I'll also say that politics in NJ/US is highly localized and regional. It's really easy to get swayed by national politics but what really matters is your local council from the municipal to county and state. How involved you want to get is really up to you, from voting once a year and reading national headlines to attending local council meetings and staying up to date on mayor & council M&A minutes.
