Jan 1, 2024

"Early this morning, one of our colleagues in the Governor’s Office, Louisa Carman, tragically died in a car accident on Route 1. Our hearts are broken as we grapple with this devastating news."

Louisa Carman, a Policy Analyst in the Office of Health Care Affordability and Transparency, was described as a dedicated and talented individual by Governor Murphy. Having started as an intern in the fall of 2021 after graduating from Swarthmore College, Carman quickly made an impact with her policy acumen. Governor Murphy stated, "Although she was just beginning her career, she quickly gained a reputation as someone who could tackle difficult policy topics and develop meaningful solutions — serving as a driving force behind our prescription drug affordability and medical debt relief work."

"Louisa will be remembered as a kind and caring colleague who approached her work with grace, integrity, and a deep commitment to making a difference in our world. I, and everyone on our team, will miss her terribly. Our prayers are with her family and friends during this incredibly difficult time."

Louisa Carman's untimely passing has left a void in the Governor's Office, where she was highly respected for her contributions to the healthcare sector. Governor Murphy and the team express their deepest condolences to her loved ones as they navigate this tragic loss.
