Gulshan Chhabra, a Watchung businessman and philanthropist who raised about $50,000 for Gov. Phil Murphy’s re-election campaign last year, is slated to become a New Jersey Lottery Commission.
Murphy nominated Chhabra on Monday to replace Frank V. Ragazzo, the former executive director of the Mercer County Parks Commission who has served as a lottery commissioner since 2009. Ragazzo’s seat has been vacant since 2018.
The owner of the Clinton Holiday Inn, Chhabra owned gas station and mini-marts and served on the Enable Board of Trustees. He is a former director of the Edison Chamber of Commerce.
If Chhabra is confirmed by the Senate, there will still be vacancy on the five-member commission.
