Governor Phil Murphy today released the following statement regarding the confidentiality policy of his 2017 campaign for governor:

“The campaign’s confidentiality policy had only one goal: to protect proprietary information. That’s been my position from day one. But there has clearly been a misunderstanding on this, both in press reports and among certain people that have been associated with the campaign.

“I value anyone’s right to come forward with any concerns over workplace issues, and I will now ensure that there is no doubt that our deeds match our words. Although I’ve said it many times, I have directed lawyers from the campaign to make it clear to anyone that they are legally free to speak about workplace issues on the campaign.”
