Alfred E. Driscoll

Alfred Eastlack Driscoll was an American attorney and Republican Party politician who served as the 43rd governor of New Jersey from 1947 to 1954. As governor, he led the crusade for the 1947 state constitution, which strengthened the executive branch, streamlined the judiciary, and outlawed segregation in the state. He was the first governor to serve consecutive terms in office, as permitted by the new constitution. In his second term, he oversaw the completion and initial expansion of the New Jersey Turnpike and parts of the construction for the Garden State Parkway, the latter of which had its Rartian River Bridge renamed in his honor in 1974, at which he attended.
