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.

The deadly epidemic of gun violence threatens communities across our country, and throughout our State. New Jersey has been a model for our nation of how strict, commonsense gun laws help keep our residents, and our law enforcement, safe - but there is more work to be done.
One weekend in America:
More than 20 people shot in Milwaukee
One killed and five wounded in a church in Laguna Woods
Two dead and three wounded at a flea market in Houston
13 shot and 10 dead in an act of domestic terrorism by a white supremacist in Buffalo
Today, we're joining a bipartisan coalition of AGs to support the federal government’s efforts to secure discounted prescription drugs for safety-net healthcare providers – an important step towards @GovMurphy's goal of making quality healthcare more affordable for all.
We stand with the residents of Buffalo in the face of today's shocking and deadly violence. My thoughts are with those who are grieving the loss of their loved ones. It's long past time to say enough is enough and do everything we can to end the scourge of gun violence.
We’re praying for the victims and those impacted by the horrific shooting in Buffalo. We must come together to end our nation's gun violence epidemic.
Thank you to @NLEOMF for bringing us together in a powerful vigil, to reflect on those who made the ultimate sacrifice. The names of the brave New Jerseyans will be honored into eternity & forever immortalized in our hearts. #UnitedByLight
Tonight, 619 names of officers killed in the line of duty will be read aloud during the 34th Annual Candlelight Vigil.
We honor and remember these brave heroes, and the family members, friends, and fellow officers they left behind.
