Helmy will fill the New Jersey senate seat until after the general election when the winner of the fall's race will be appointed by Murphy to take office early"George is the model of integrity we need to help restore public trust in our state’s leadership," Murphy said in a statement."There is no one better prepared — or more committed — to delivering for the people of our state, especially when it comes to providing the highest caliber of constituent services.
“I thank the Governor and accept this appointment with great humility and even greater determination to represent New Jerseyans in the United States Senate,” Helmy said“While I am honored to serve and provide New Jersey with a Senate office that they can depend on, I commit to stepping down early to give the duly elected Senator the chance to begin their work.
