We are pleased that Governor Murphy has decided to nominate Matt Platkin to serve as New Jersey’s Attorney General.

We have seen firsthand his commitment to defending working families and look forward to working with him to advance key agenda items, including police reform, desegregation and expanding civil rights protections.
