Speaker Coughlin Statement on Oroho Retirement

(TRENTON) – Assembly Speaker Craig J. Coughlin (D-Middlesex) issued the following statement in response to Senate Minority Leader Steve Oroho announcing his retirement from office at the conclusion of his term:

“Senator Oroho is a true statesman who has been a stalwart leader in his 16 years of service to the people of New Jersey. While we may not always agree, as Senate Minority Leader, he always comes to the table in the spirit of bipartisanship. I’m happy to call him a friend and have respected his approach in the interest of New Jersey.

“I respect and recognize the weight of his decision not to seek re-election. His intellect on fiscal matters and refreshing desire to work across the aisle will be sorely missed.”
