The Governor-Elect has appointed 10 Action Teams to help enact her agenda and implement the top priorities of her administration. Vigil will serve on the team focused on “Transportation and Infrastructure Innovation.” Vigil’s appointment to the transition team shows the political influence that BLET has built in New Jersey and increases the likelihood that the governor-elect will take BLET’s priorities into consideration as she takes office.
“I am honored to be appointed to Governor-Elect Sherrill’s Transition Action Team,” Vigil said. “As New Jersey prepares for a new, pro-labor administration, I am committed to elevating the voices of all transportation workers — especially our railroad workforce, the men and women who keep our state and economy moving every single day. This appointment is both a privilege and a responsibility. Together, with unity, purpose, and a clear vision for a safer, stronger, and more resilient transportation systems, let’s get to work for a better New Jersey.”
