Jack Ciattarelli is picking up endorsements from members of both parties in his bid for governor of New Jersey. The Garden State may be a blue state, but they have elected Republicans as governors from time to time, much like Massachusetts.
Ciattarelli appeared on FOX & Friends this week and refuted the FOX News poll showing him eight points behind Democrat Mikie Sherrill. He claims that he is being met with tremendous energy wherever he goes.
Don’t forget, Ciatarelli came extremely close to winning the NJ governor race in 2021.
In the clip below, Ciattarelli says:
“Republicans traditionally under poll New Jersey. There’s energy everywhere I go. And last night we picked up another very significant endorsement from another Democratic mayor.”“There isn’t a single Republican that has endorsed my opponent whose entire campaign is based on a stack of lies, her disdain for Donald Trump, and that she can fly a helicopter. None of that is going to fix New Jersey.”
When he talks about the endorsements he is picking up, he’s not kidding.
The New York Post reports:
Republican Jack Ciattarelli nabs key endorsements in Democratic stronghold of New JerseyNew Jersey Republican gubernatorial contender Jack Ciattarelli notched a raft of key endorsements Sunday in the Democratic stronghold of Hudson County.Two prominent officials in North Hudson threw their weight behind Ciattarelli: North Bergen Commissioner Allen Pascual and West New York Commissioner Marcos Arroyo.“When Democrats in Hudson County are standing with us, you know change is coming,” Ciattarelli proclaimed after locking down the endorsements. “This isn’t about party lines — it’s about fixing New Jersey and I’m the only candidate with a plan to get it done.”In addition to those two endorsements, former Hudson County Democratic Chairman Anthony Vainieri Jr. is rumored to endorse Ciattarelli within days, the New Jersey Globe reported.Hudson County, the fourth-most populous county in the Garden State, which encompasses cities like Jersey City, Hoboken and Secaucus, is generally seen as one of the most solidly Democratic counties in the state.
Conservative activist Scott Presler, who played a key role in flipping Pennsylvania red in 2024, is on the ground in New Jersey getting out the vote.
All of the excitement seems to be on Ciatarelli’s side in this race. A Republican running in a blue state could not ask for a better position.
