“Janet Castro has proven herself to be an incredibly dedicated and competent public servant, especially in the last year when she has guided our comprehensive response to the COVID-19 pandemic as our top public health official,” state Senator (D-32)/North Bergen Mayor Nick Sacco said.
“I have great confidence in her ability to lead our local government and continue the innovative, ethical and efficient management that North Bergen residents have come to expect, and I look forward to working closely with her in this new role.”
Castro, who also currently serves as the health officer for Weehawken, Secaucus, Harrison, and Union City, was also the first person of Hispanic decent to be hired as the North Bergen health officer in 2015.
