Former NJ Gubernatorial Candidate Bill Spadea Eyes Move to Tennessee After Election Loss
TRENTON, N.J. — Following a significant defeat in New Jersey’s recent gubernatorial primary, Bill Spadea is reportedly contemplating a relocation to Tennessee for a potential new job, according to multiple insiders. Spadea, a former radio host and political candidate, suffered a stunning 40-point loss last Tuesday and has not publicly conceded the race.
One source familiar with Spadea’s situation revealed, “He’s out of New Jersey. He said he’s taking a radio job in Tennessee.” This claim has been corroborated by other sources, although it remains unconfirmed. Speculation suggests he might return to radio, possibly at a station in Tennessee, although his future at New Jersey 101.5 remains uncertain given his recent poor election performance.
Additionally, sources indicate that Spadea does not plan to support Jack Ciattarelli, who clinched the Republican nomination. “He won’t be supporting Ciattarelli,” a source mentioned, highlighting a fracture within party unity following the primaries.
Spadea’s silence since election night has fueled speculation among political circles. Known for his confrontational style and grassroots campaigning, he has refrained from social media engagement or public appearances since his defeat.
Compounding the uncertainty are concerns regarding Elect Common Sense, a PAC that Spadea leads, which has faced scrutiny over its fundraising practices, including $265,000 in payments made to an LLC owned by Spadea himself.
Attempts to contact Spadea for comment have been unsuccessful, and his campaign has not released any statements regarding his potential move or his stance on the election outcome. A move to Tennessee would represent a significant transition for Spadea, a well-known figure in New Jersey’s political and media landscapes.
