Jon Corzine's Official Biography

As a state and as a nation, we are living in the eye of an economic storm, the likes of which we haven’t seen since the breadline days of the 1930s.

We face challenges that require not only courage and conviction, but also expertise and responsibility.

The times demand strong leadership. Governor Jon Corzine brings an unparalleled breadth of experience that makes him uniquely qualified to lead the state through these difficult times.

From his days as a top business executive and his productive tenure in the United States Senate, and onto his successful first term as New Jersey’s 54th governor, Jon Corzine has emerged as one of the nation’s most respected public officials.

Through bold leadership and quiet consensus building, he has helped middle-class New Jerseyans weather this global economic tsunami, even as he’s laid a foundation for future growth and prosperity once the crisis ends.

His brand of fiscally-responsible progressivism anticipated and now reflects the Obama Administration’s agenda at the national level.
