Everyone is required to pay their fair share of taxes. We allege that this defendant was collecting sales tax from his customers, but not paying over that money to the Division of Taxation. This form of tax fraud will not be tolerated.

What a joy to meet the iconic Ruby Bridges while celebrating her legacy with Hillside Public Schools for Ruby Bridges Walk to School Day!
At just 6 years old, Ruby became a trailblazer, transforming history with her bravery, and today she continues to inspire us all to fight for change.

As NJ families rightly worry about rising healthcare costs, we will not tolerate health insurers defrauding the State and overcharging us for healthcare for our dedicated public servants.
My team will hold anyone accountable—no matter how big or powerful they are.

850,000 New Jerseyans use SNAP—350,000 are children. The Trump admin. has leveraged the full legal might of our government to deny them food.
We stopped them in court, and they told us they’d comply and fund SNAP.
Now they're trying to take it back. This is why we are fighting.

After @usdagov.bsky.social had to comply with an order to fully fund SNAP, they demanded that states undo SNAP benefits that are feeding New Jerseyans right now.
We have already secured an order barring the Trump Admin from their illegal actions.
We’ll continue to fight this in court.

This case is about more than car thefts—it is about robbing people of their sense of security and safety. We are using recently enacted laws to charge criminals who invade homes to steal key fobs so that they can steal cars, a dangerous escalation of car thefts.

Great conversations with students at @acslaw.bsky.social's chapter at Rutgers Newark.
We had a meaningful discussion about the challenges facing our justice system and the importance of public service in meeting them. I’m encouraged by the passion these future lawyers bring to the work ahead.

The defendants allegedly took advantage of a genuine need and public interest in renewable energy to trick investors into believing their company was a valuable and legitimate business. Instead, they allegedly used the company to take millions of dollars from investors.
