A U.S. Attorney should be focused on keeping New Jerseyans safe, deepening our trust in law enforcement, a commitment to shared values, and our larger common cause - not scoring political points while in the office. Anything else is disqualifying.

Got to say I LOVE the Trump Administration negotiating to get Rare Minerals from Ukraine, for 2 reasons:
1. It reduces our dependence on China for Lithium and Graphite (China provides near 70% of world supply)
2. More than 50% of those minerals are in Russian Annexed land.
