New Jersey public schools helped me get to Harvard Law School — the first person in my family to become a lawyer. I served as a federal and state prosecutor in Newark and Jersey City. Then I went to the Attorney General’s Office and used what I saw in the courthouse every day to make the justice system work better for the people. I designed a public safety program from scratch pairing mental health workers with police officers to respond to emergency crisis calls as a unit, called ARRIVE Together. It’s now operating in every town in Union County, as well as dozens more across the state. My wife Ellen is also a prosecutor — but some still consider us a fun couple. We have two beautiful kids: Jack and Maeve.
I am running for the Assembly because I want to help solve problems and protect the future for my son and daughter and for families across the 21st District and New Jersey.- As a former federal and state prosecutor in Newark and Jersey City, I am committed to marshaling the resources of government to protect residents and improve lives.
- As the father of two little kids, I am running for the state legislature to solve problems and protect the future for my son and daughter and families across the 21st District and New Jersey.
- During my time as counsel to two New Jersey Attorneys General, I worked to ensure our statewide public safety policy was as effective and efficient as possible, and we need legislators who will do that throughout state government.
