Please welcome Governor Phil Murphy (D-NJ)
Gov.-elect Phil Murphy will be the center of the show Tuesday as he's sworn into office and feted with an inaugural ball at MetLife Stadium. But when it comes time to running the state, he'll have a support squad of two dozen cabinet-level officials, overseeing everything from transportation and education to homeland security.
He said often as he rolled out his nominations for officials to lead New Jersey's state departments that he wanted his cabinet to look like New Jersey. And with two-thirds of his cabinet filled — though requiring state Senate confirmation — nominees will make state and national history.
Gurbir Grewal would be the first Sikh state attorney general in the U.S. The nominee for health commissioner, Shereef Elnaha, would become the first Muslim cabinet official in the state's history. It's perhaps the most diverse cabinet in Jersey history.
