CWA District 1 Leader Tonya Hodges Appointed to Governor-Elect Sherrill’s Fiscal Responsibility and Government Accountability Action Team

Trenton, New Jersey — In a move signaling a commitment to responsible governance and the value of public service expertise, the office of Governor-Elect Mikie Sherrill has announced the appointment of Tonya Hodges, CWA District 1 Area Director for New Jersey, to the newly formed Fiscal Responsibility and Government Accountability Action Team.

Hodges brings a wealth of experience and a crucial frontline perspective to this role. As the Area Director for New Jersey within CWA District 1, which represents thousands of public and private sector workers across the state, her work has centered on fighting for working families, securing fair contracts, and advocating for the resources necessary to deliver quality public services.

“I am honored to accept this appointment from Governor-Elect Sherrill,” said Tonya Hodges. “The members of CWA are the ones who build our infrastructure, staff our agencies, and provide the vital services New Jerseyans rely on every day. I look forward to bringing the voices and expertise of our members to this committee to help build a stronger, more equitable New Jersey for all.”

The Fiscal Responsibility and Government Accountability Action Team is expected to begin its work immediately, providing key recommendations to the Sherrill transition team as they prepare to take office.
