The vice chair of the New Jersey Casino Control Commission will work her final day on the job Thursday after thirteen years on the commission.
Alisa Cooper, one of the commission’s three members, will leave the licensure commission after Thursday. Former Gov. Chris Christie first appointed Cooper to complete an unexpired term in 2012; Christie nominated her to a full five-year term in 2014, and Gov. Phil Murphy did the same in 2021.
“It’s been an incredibly exciting journey,” she said. “I’m proud to have helped uphold the commission’s commitment to honesty and integrity since its inception in 1977.”
Cooper said she will remain active in Atlantic City after leaving the commission, but did not specify how.
“While I’m starting a new chapter as I move on from the Commission, I’m definitely not retiring!” she said in the release. “I’m excited to remain actively involved and promote Atlantic City and the region—places that are incredibly important to me. I eagerly look forward to future endeavors and initiatives and I am dedicated to its continued growth and development.”
Before joining the commission, Cooper served two terms as an Atlantic County freeholder. Cooper ran for Assembly as a Democrat in the 2nd legislative district, but lost to the Republican ticket. She is the daughter of the late Delores Cooper (R-Atlantic City), a legendary officeholder who served as a freeholder and five terms as an assemblywoman
