Governor Codey was a dedicated, selfless public servant that committed his life to the people of New Jersey. He lived with compassion and strength, striving every day to improve the lives of New Jerseyans. My heart is with his family today, may we all carry forward his memory.

Judge Esther Salas stands for justice & speaks truth to power. Threats against judges undermine judicial independence and the rule of law. This Administration’s dangerous rhetoric and partisan attacks on judges who have ruled against its unlawful actions are breeding hostility and must be condemned.
