New Jersey’s Murphy to spotlight youth mental health as he begins chairing bipartisan governors’ group
Fox News
Democratic Gov. Phil Murphy of New Jersey, who's taking over as National Governors Association chair, predicts that Democrats "will absolutely rally around" President Biden in 2024.
On Friday, as Murphy succeeds GOP Gov. Asa Hutchinson of Arkansas as NGA chair, he’ll set his agenda for the organization, which represents the interests of the 55 state and territorial governors.
"Each chairman gets an initiative," Murphy noted as he gave Fox News a sneak peek. "Mine is going to be focused on mental health of our youth. What do we do to get them back on their feet coming out of this awful pandemic where we know there’s huge mental health stress and we know there’s huge amounts of learning loss, to bipartisan common ground theme that we all care deeply about. And I'm looking forward to prosecuting that over the next year."
