Statements on Murphy’s ELEC appointments

By David Wildstein, June 15 2023 10:01 am

Garden State Equality Board Chair Jeannine Frisby LaRue

“Tom Prol’s appointment to this Commission is certainly welcomed news to me as a longtime advocate for social justice as well as a legislative agent for four decades. I’m aware of past concerns raised about this agency and applaud Governor Murphy for taking steps to repair its tarnished reputation and place ELECT back on course as the watchdog agency it was meant to be.”

Senate Majority Conference Leader Vin Gopal

“The four picks by Governor Murphy on ELEC are outstanding choices. Tom Prol is a constituent of mine who has a statewide reputation for integrity and ethics especially in recommending judicial picks. Ryan Peters served as a strong voice for the Republican Party as a member of the New Jersey General Assembly always fought with integrity. Norma Evans has spent her career with the Attorney General’s office fighting fraud and abuse. Jon-Henry Barr has an outstanding reputation as a prosecutor who has held numerous leadership positions in the legal community. These are four outstanding selections who I believe will help create stability at ELEC and help to open and close cases as soon as possible.”

Former Supreme Court Justice Peter Verniero

“Tom is an excellent choice to serve as an ELEC commissioner, especially as chair.  Working alongside Tom at my firm has enabled me to observe first-hand his integrity, intellect and sense of fairness – all qualities that make him well-suited to lead an important agency such as ELEC.”
