Dear Attorney General Grewal,

My name is Matt Winick from Ann Arbor, Michigan and  I have a strong interest in learning history including social justice. In these subjects, I like to learn the need to make civil rights stronger to reduce discrimination, protect the environment from pollution, have criminal justice reform to help protect people’s rights while reduce crime, and many others.  Attorney General Connors, the main reason I’m writing you a letter is to explain how your work as 61^st Attorney General of New Jersey to be very inspiring to me.

In January 2018, I was amazed on how you made history on becoming the first Sikh-American to become Attorney General of New Jersey. In your current role as 61^st Attorney General of New Jersey, I truly appreciate on you are a strong supporter of civil rights by advocating for people with disabilities’ rights, prosecuting people who commit hate-crime to help protect minorities including people who are different, and investigating public places that practice different forms of discrimination or violate civil rights legislation.  Supporting drug treatment programs to help drug-users get the care they need to reduce drug-abuse,  working with law enforcement to expand resources to help victims of crime or victims of domestic violence get help on dealing with their trauma, and expressing the need for funds to improve DNA testing including forensic science to help solve evidence efficiently while reduce sending an innocent person to jail is common sense for criminal justice reform.  Also on criminal justice reform, I like on how you advocate for the need for law enforcement officers to wear body camera to reduce police misconduct and express the need for the criminal justice system to reduce racial profiling to help protect minorities including immigrants from being oppressed. Another thing that I like about your work as Attorney General of New Jersey is how you went after industries that illegally pollute the environment or violate environmental protection to protect public health while reduce pollution,  prosecute public officials who are corrupt or accept illegal bribes to reduce corruption, and investigate insurance companies including financial institutions that commit fraud or abuse.  Also on public safety, I like on how you implemented a program to support mental health for police officers to help train them to understand mental illness and how to provide counsel to victims of crime or victims of domestic violence.

Attorney General Grewal, I have autism with a learning disability. Having a disability is hard for me because I have trouble comprehending on learning different advance subjects, sometimes I struggle to communicate my thoughts, and get teased. Your commitment to be a strong supporter of civil rights including people with disabilities’ rights really inspires me to work hard on my disability.  Your role as 61^st Attorney General of New Jersey gives me motivation to continue to learn history including social justice. Also on Youtube I enjoy watching you give a speech about how you overcome your struggles on dealing with racism and how it is important to stop discrimination. My future goal is to someday work in these areas to help emphasize the need to make civil rights stronger to reduce discrimination, protect the environment from pollution, have criminal justice reform to help protect people’s rights while reduce crime, and many others. 

I strongly believe that you are making a great difference for society and the criminal justice system. I’m very proud on how you are working hard to support civil rights and push for criminal justice reform. You have inspire me to work hard on my disability and to continue to learn history including social justice.  Thanks for taking the time to read my letter, working hard to make a great difference, and inspiring me. I wish you the best to continue to make a great difference for society and criminal justice reform.

Sincerely,

Matt Winick
