Civil Liberties Policy Recommendations for Governor Mikie Sherrill
As New Jersey’s top elected leader, Governor Mikie Sherrill has a responsibility to safeguard
and advance civil rights and liberties, and fight against federal abuses of power. The people
of New Jersey expect and deserve a governor with a strong, demonstrated commitment to a
fair and equitable state where the rights of all are defended and protected. Policy decisions
made by the Sherrill administration will shape the lives of all New Jerseyans, and the future
of our state, for generations to come.
To build a fairer future for all, the ACLU of New Jersey encourages Governor Sherrill to
prioritize the following list of policy recommendations throughout her tenure. Though
inexhaustive, these areas of focus provide a series of integral guiding principles for the
Governor and her cabinet. If pursued, these priorities will help ensure that New Jersey is a
safer, freer, more welcoming, and more affordable state for all.
