About This Episode
Welcome to the first episode of Exit Interviews, the podcast all about New Jersey – America's Greatest State. My name is David Piegaro, I grew up in Central Jersey, in Ewing and I'm living in Jersey City.

Prior to that he was the U.S. Attorney for New Jersey, where he prosecuted more than 130 public officials. He was undefeated in that endeavor, securing 130 convictions and 0 acquittals. He's run for President twice, served as chairman of the Republican Governors Association, and is one of the most consequential and candid voices in American politics.
