Gubernatorial election

Other Democratic candidates include Jersey City Mayor Steve Fulop, former Montclair Mayor Sean Spiller, Newark Mayor Ras Baraka and former Senate President Steve Sweeney.

It’s the final week before the Garden State decides whether to re-elect Gov. Phil Murphy or pick a new governor in former Assemblyman Jack Ciattarelli.

As New Jersey gets ready for its first-ever early voting period, some Black churches in the state are getting ready to bring “Souls to the Polls.”

Another debate, another clear contrast between Democratic incumbent New Jersey Gov. Phil Murphy and his Republican challenger Jack Ciattarelli.

The two candidates drew clear contrasts on a range of pressing issues from the COVID-19 pandemic to teaching critical race theory in schools.

After trading barbs in news conferences and television ads, Democratic incumbent Gov. Phil Murphy and Republican challenger Jack Ciattarelli will debate each other face-to-face.

Katie Brennan, whose accusation of rape against a Murphy official prompted legislative hearings, called use of her testimony in a Murphy attack ad “inappropriate.”

Out of 810 registered voters reached last week, just over half of them (52%) support the incumbent Democrat over Ciattarelli.

The longtime state senator from Burlington County and former Philly TV news anchor is being praised as a smart pick for Ciattarelli in the race to unseat Gov. Murphy.

In the Republican stronghold of Ocean County, many GOP voters said they are still weighing their options with Tuesday’s primary just days away.
