OFFICIAL STATEMENT FROM BERGEN COUNTY EXECUTIVE JIM TEDESCO

HACKENSACK, N.J. – Bergen County Executive James J. Tedesco, III releases the following statement on the nomination of Julien Neals to the U.S. District Court:

“I congratulate my colleague and friend Julien Neals on his recent nomination to the U.S. District Court. There is no person more deserving of this honor. Everyone who has had the opportunity to work with Julien knows he is a gentleman of great character, capability, and integrity, and he will serve the federal bench with fairness and distinction. This nomination is well overdue, and I applaud President Joe Biden and New Jersey Senators Cory Booker and Bob Menendez for moving it forward. On a personal note, I am lucky to have had Julien as an integral part of my administration for the past six and a half years. While bittersweet, Bergen County’s loss is truly our nation’s gain.”
