Race for New Jersey Governorship Intensifies with Primary Elections
As New Jersey approaches its primary elections, the race for governor is becoming increasingly competitive. With Democratic Governor Phil Murphy term-limited, six Democrats and five Republicans are eager to claim the state’s highest office. Leading the Republican pack is Jack Ciattarelli, who has gained traction in polls and secured an endorsement from former President Donald Trump. Ciattarelli campaigned at a local pizzeria, emphasizing his commitment to cut property taxes—a key issue for voters.
Trump, intent on shifting New Jersey Republican after a narrow loss to Kamala Harris in the last election, expressed confidence in Ciattarelli’s prospects during a recent tele-rally. Meanwhile, moderate Republican Jon Bramnick is advocating for traditional Republican values, emphasizing lower taxes and respect for all individuals.
Ciattarelli, who narrowly lost to Murphy in 2021, aims to introduce a new school funding formula to alleviate property taxes, a concern echoed by other candidates. With polls closing at 8 p.m., the stakes are high as candidates push hard for their vision of New Jersey’s future. The results of this primary will be pivotal in shaping the state’s political landscape moving forward.
