Governor Phil Murphy is committed to ensuring a post-COVID New Jersey that is stronger, fairer, and more resilient than ever. With a focus on protecting residents and saving lives, he has guided New Jersey's emergence from an epicenter of the pandemic to a model state for restart and recovery. Working with state and federal legislators, has provided hundreds of millions of dollars in direct relief to businesses, schools, tenants and landlords, and middle-class families. Governor Murphy has also made New Jersey a model state for social justice, signing legislation to reinstate the right to vote for those on probation or parole, expunge the records of numerous nonviolent offenders, and create the nation's strongest provisions for environmental justice, among other new laws. Under his direction, New Jersey is also undertaking its first meaningful reform of use-of-force policies for police in two decades. Governor Murphy served as the United States Ambassador to the Federal Republic of Germany from 2009 until 2013, where he honed his ability to bridge divides. He had a more than 20-year career in international business.

Governor Murphy and First Lady Tammy Murphy live in Monmouth County and are the parents of Josh, Emma, Charlie, and Sam.
