What are we working on?
Racial Justice
The COVID-19 pandemic exposed and exacerbated racial disparities that have long plagued our country, and we have a moral obligation to address this problem.
Gun Violence
Over the past decade, nearly 5,000 New Jersey residents have been killed by guns. This is more than a tragedy. It’s also a public health crisis.
Police-Community Relations
The New Jersey Attorney General has the unique authority to issue statewide policy directives that apply to the New Jersey’s 38,000 state, county, and local police officers and 1,000 state, county, and municipal prosecutors.
Protecting New Jersey in Court
The Attorney General protects the rights of New Jersey’s residents by standing up to corporate polluters, financial fraudsters, discriminatory employers—and when necessary, the federal government.

Antisemitic incidents have hit an all-time high.
But these aren't just numbers. These are real people whose lives were shattered by acts of hate and intolerance.
This is unacceptable, and we won't rest until every community feels safe in New Jersey. https://www.nj.com/news/2023/03/antisemitic-incidents-hit-new-record-highs-in-nj-and-nationwide.html
