Prior to serving as field director, Mr. O’Malley was NJPIRG’s environmental advocate, advancing progressive policies on water supply, air and drinking water quality, and land use issues related to development. He also previously directed an effort to increase protection for the state’s pristine waterways from uncontrolled development.

He has appeared in The New York Times and the Star Ledger. He also has appeared on WNBC in New York and NJN. He is a member of the Diesel Pollution Coalition, which includes local and state air pollution leaders, and is one of the founding members of the Save New Jersey Coalition, a group of 40 plus environmental, housing, urban and labor activists focused on repealing pro-sprawl state legislation.
