Jennifer Webb-McRae

Jennifer Webb-McRae, a Vineland native and Rutgers Law School–Camden alumna, made history as the first African American and female to hold the position. Serving under her third New Jersey governor, she has gained bipartisan recognition for her exceptional leadership. Nominated by Governors Corzine, Christie, and Murphy for consecutive terms, she continues to break barriers. Beyond her prosecutorial duties, Webb-McRae’s commitment to community shines through initiatives like the Cumberland County Positive Youth Development Coalition, a partnership with Rutgers–Camden’s Senator Walter Rand Institute for Public Affairs. This collaboration has played a vital role in significantly reducing juvenile arrests in Cumberland County, contributing to a 45% decrease from 2012 to 2018 in key cities like Vineland, Millville, and Bridgeton.
