In my 50-plus-year career, during which I have interacted with many governors and their chiefs of staff, George Helmy has been truly exceptional. He is responsive, professional, objective, respectful – and has been a true asset to Gov. Murphy and the state. We have not agreed on all issues, but there has been a mutual respect between us in dealing with our differences. I will miss my conversations with George – and I wish him the best of luck as he enters a new chapter. I hope our professional paths cross again. To summarize, when it comes to chiefs of staff, George Helmy is the GOAT!
