Statement by Governor Murphy on President Biden’s Nomination of Michael E. Farbiarz and Judge Robert Kirsch to U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey

12/20/2022

“I am delighted to see President Biden’s nomination of Michael Farbiarz and Superior Court Judge Robert Kirsch to the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey. Both are highly distinguished in their own right and outstanding public servants, having left their mark on the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey and the New Jersey judiciary, respectively. They each possess decades of legal experience and will no doubt serve the people of New Jersey well once confirmed to the federal bench. I commend President Biden for continuing to fill vacancies on New Jersey’s federal court with well qualified candidates and applaud Senators Menendez and Booker for their continued support.”
