A brilliant choice. The Governor elect is off to a great start here. Will be proud to call Jen Davenport our Attorney General.

In the studio filming with @Arnold_Ventures + 3 of the best public servants in the country: @ACProsecutor Bill Reynolds, former #NJ AG @cporrino + former federal prosecutor Charlie McKenna. These leaders used risk-based bail as a public safety tool to make our communities safer. #smartoncrime #bail #riskbasedbail

Bold move @NewJerseyOAG… Very bold.

Paterson can't police its own cops. This state intervention is most welcome.

The illegal cannabis market is moving out of the shadows and into storefronts. Don’t believe me? Stop by a local vape shop or gas station and see for yourself…👀

Dear Inna Albin and Christina Porrino (Shenouda):

A belated but heartfelt thank you for making this introduction more than 25 years ago!!

Great day + a great example of community and law enforcement supporting each other. Thanks to @NewJerseyOAG, Bishop James and Paradise Baptist Church. #communitypolicing

[Attorney General Jennifer Davenport @NewJerseyOAG]

It was an honor to attend the 1st Annual Newark Police Motorcycle Blessing hosted by Bishop Jethro James, Paradise Baptist Church with @njsp, Essex County law enforcement, and @cporrino. Stay safe.

Launch a formal review? He should be prosecuted for assault and stripped of his award. The Academy is a joke.

[The Associated Press @AP]

The Academy of Motion Pictures Arts and Sciences says it condemns the actions of Will Smith during Sunday night’s Oscars and it will launch a formal review of his slapping of Chris Rock. https://t.co/wJHmxjmqXw

Thanks to @jkanige and @NJBIZ for the chance to talk about one of my favorite subjects -- becoming @NewJerseyOAG.

[Jeffrey Kanige @jkanige]

Who better to talk about a @LowensteinLLP partner becoming @NewJerseyOAG than a Lowenstein partner who once held the job? Watch this special edition of @NJBIZ Conversations with @cporrino discussing @mattplatkin.

General Bruck, you served with distinction, vision and grace. I am proud to have sat in the chair you now occupy, and I join the chorus of those who are - to use your words - immensely grateful for your efforts. #thankyouforyourservice

[Attorney General Jennifer Davenport @NewJerseyOAG]

More than words can express, I am immensely grateful to have served New Jersey as Acting AG for the past seven months.

Thank you @GovMurphy for the trust you put in me, and to my friends and colleagues, who work so hard every day to make New Jersey safer, fairer, and more just.

[Christopher Porrino @cporrino]

@govmurphy has made an excellent choice in Matt Platkin for AG.  I have had the privilege of calling Matt my friend and partner, and he is a brilliant lawyer and legal strategist.  Matt will serve our state well as NJ’s 62nd Attorney General. #greatchoice

[David Wildstein @wildstein]

🚨🚨🚨
BREAKING: The next Attorney General of New Jersey will be @mattplatkin. @GovMurphy will announce his nomination tomorrow.

Hitting refresh on this one... @NYCMayor has got it right -- NY bail reform needs to be fixed, and the solution is just across the Hudson River. Mayor, give us a call, @eliehonig and I are glad to share how NJ ended up as the national model. #bailreform https://t.co/qo6Ua9cC4H

My resolution in 2022: To help maintain a sense of urgency re fixing the relationship between police and the communities they serve. Bringing police officers and youth together is the top priority of the Newark Police Foundation. https://t.co/ONXvebIWPK @NewarkNJPolice

[Christopher Porrino @cporrino]

NJ’s bail reform law has been up and running for nearly five years. Many lives have been saved, both by keeping killers in jail and non-violent offenders out of jail. I only wish politicians elsewhere (including in NY) would grow a spine and copy us. #bailreform @eliehonig

[Elie Honig @eliehonig]

Our violent crimes rates fell, *and* our pretrial incarceration rates plummeted (down about 30%). Get rid of cash bail. Switch to risk-based. It's more just, and it better protects the community. As @cporrino and I wrote for @njdotcom in 2018: (5/5)
