TRENTON – Senator Paul Sarlo, Chair of the Senate Budget and Appropriations Committee, issued the following statement praising Governor-elect Mikie Sherrill’s selection of Aaron Binder to serve as New Jersey’s next State Treasurer:

“This is a wise selection. Aaron Binder is a highly skilled fiscal expert. He possesses the experience, knowledge, and sound judgement to serve as New Jersey’s chief financial official. His experience in the executive and legislative branches of state government will be an invaluable asset.

“We will confront serious economic and fiscal challenges ahead that will require an effective partnership between the new Sherrill Administration and the Legislature. The trusting working relationship that I have already developed with Aaron will help us manage state finances, contend with economic tailwinds and federal cutbacks, and protect the taxpayers. I am confident that we will build upon this alliance to best serve the residents of New Jersey.”
