Statement from Governor Murphy on President Biden’s Nomination of Sue Fulton as Assistant Secretary of Defense for Manpower and Reserve Affairs

“President Biden has made a tremendous choice in his nomination of Sue Fulton to serve our nation as Assistant Secretary of Defense for Manpower and Reserve Affairs. Our nation needs leaders who understand our global challenges and have the skills to empower and inspire our men and women in uniform. Sue has been a trailblazer since her days as part of the first West Point class to include women and, as a member of my Cabinet, I have relied upon her clear, calm, and flexible approach to serving the needs of millions of New Jerseyans during one of the most challenging times in memory. I know she will be the capable partner President Biden needs working alongside Secretary Austin at the Pentagon.”
