Gov. Phil Murphy nominated Raymond Santiago, a litigator in criminal and immigration law, to serve as Monmouth County prosecutor.
"I am proud to nominate Raymond Santiago to serve as Monmouth County prosecutor," Murphy said.
"His extensive legal experience, which includes time both as a prosecutor and as a public defender, makes him well equipped to lead the Monmouth County Prosecutor's Office in an even-handed and fair-minded manner," Murphy said. "I look forward to his success, and I am confident that he will bring the same dedication to his new role that he has demonstrated throughout his career.
"Today's nomination, which I am pleased to make during Hispanic Heritage Month, also furthers our commitment to ensuring that leadership at all levels of law enforcement reflects the great diversity of our state," Murphy added.
Santiago will assume the role of acting prosecutor on Oct. 7 while awaiting Senate confirmation.
"Raymond Santiago brings to this role unique and valuable experience that includes public service as both a prosecutor as well as a public defender, in addition to his experience in private practice," acting Attorney General Matthew J. Platkin said. "He is a highly skilled attorney with a strong commitment to justice, and deep roots in the Monmouth County community."
Santiago heads the Law Offices of Santiago & Associates, a Freehold-based firm. His past experience with the state includes serving as a public defender for municipalities in Monmouth County and as a pool attorney for the New Jersey Public Defender's Office.
As a public defender, Santiago worked with indigent defendants in the Monmouth Vicinage since 2002, assisting in their defense for various crimes or offenses.
Before entering private practice, Santiago served as assistant district attorney in New York's Nassau County District Attorney's Office.
"I would like to thank Gov. Murphy for his nomination to serve as the Monmouth County prosecutor," Santiago said. "It is a tremendous honor and privilege.
"All of my life's experiences have prepared me for this moment and I am grateful to each person that has uniquely prepared me for the tasks ahead," Santiago said. "I am eager for the opportunity to serve the residents of Monmouth County by ensuring that justice is fairly and equally served. Further, I look forward to working with members of law enforcement to not only protect all persons that live, work or visit, but to actively be part of the communities that we serve."
Santiago was born in Puerto Rico and raised in Brooklyn, New York. A graduate of John Jay College of Criminal Justice in 1996, he received his law degree from the City University of New York School of Law at Queens College.
