TRENTON -- New Jersey Gov. Phil Murphy on Monday named Col. Lisa Hou as his pick to head of the state's National Guard and serve as commissioner of the Department of Military and Veterans Affairs.
Hou currently serves as the interim adjutant general and department commissioner. She will be the first woman and first Asian-American in the role if confirmed by the state Senate, Murphy said.
She took over the role six months ago after Murphy dismissed the previous adjutant general amid the COVID-19 outbreak, which hit the New Jersey's state-run veterans homes hard.
