"Our members want a governor who will work hard to invest in them and our infrastructure, and who will show them the respect they deserve for their work. They know that governor will be Phil Murphy," said Dominiczak. "With the primary election less than a week away, we are excited to join Phil's team and to work with him towards victory."
