Statement from Treasurer Elizabeth Maher Muoio on the Nomination of Aaron Binder as Treasurer by Governor-Elect Mikie Sherrill

(TRENTON) — I could not be more pleased about Governor-Elect Sherrill’s choice of Aaron Binder to step up and assume leadership of this great department.  I first worked with Aaron during my time as a member of the Assembly Budget Committee, and asked him to join us in Treasury in late 2021 as we prepared for the start of Governor Murphy’s second term.  Since that time he has been a highly valued member of my leadership team, serving as Deputy Treasurer and helping oversee the work of our budgeting, revenue forecasting and tax divisions.  As I prepare to step down after eight years as State Treasurer, I know I am leaving a department much stronger and better prepared to meet future challenges, and it is deeply gratifying to be handing the reins to a trusted and talented colleague who has worked alongside me and who values the mission and people of Treasury as much as I do.  Aaron is an excellent choice, and I know he and the Treasury team will continue to serve the people of New Jersey well.
