From NorthJersey.com:
Dow, 54, will be the first African-American woman to hold the position. The former Essex County prosecutor promised to keep pursuing corruption and violent criminal gangs while balancing her office’s divergent responsibilities.
“I will do all that I can to protect the residents of New Jersey,” she said. “Justice will ring out from these corridors and these halls to every corner and byway of the state.”
As a Democrat nominated by Republican Governor Christie, Dow’s nomination moved quickly through the Senate, receiving final approval on Monday. By comparison, she waited almost two years for Senate confirmation after becoming a county prosecutor in 2003.
