Gov. Mikie Sherrill’s transition teams released their final reports Wednesday morning, laying out her administration’s policy goals in 10 subject matters.

Lt. Gov. Dr. Dale Caldwell and state Chief Operating Officer Kellie Doucette served as the chair and executive director of Sherrill’s transition.

“Governor Sherrill brought our teams together on a mission to deliver for the people of New Jersey, and we are proud of the recommendations we developed so the Sherrill-Caldwell administration could hit the ground running,” Caldwell and Doucette said in a statement. “These reports are a product of true collaboration and coming together around Gov. Sherrill’s commitment to lower costs, expand opportunity for our kids, and make Trenton more accountable to the people of New Jersey.”
