Statement from Governor Murphy on Doug Fisher’s Retirement as Secretary of Agriculture

03/14/2023

“For the past 14 years, New Jersey’s farming and agriculture community has had a friend in Secretary of Agriculture Doug Fisher. Doug has been an important partner in our administration-wide efforts to fight hunger and food insecurity. He has advocated for agri-tourism and supported the growth of businesses that are keeping farms financially viable and our agricultural heritage alive. His tenure has ensured that our nickname as the Garden State remains a point of pride for all New Jerseyans. I thank Doug for his years of service to both my and the previous two administrations and wish him nothing but the best.”
