Ciattarelli, the Republican nominee, won Tuesday’s primary with Trump’s endorsement, but he’s now shifting his focus to the Democrats running state government.
Former New Jersey Assemblyman Jack Ciattarelli won the Republican primary for governor Tuesday, CBS News projects. Ciattarelli, who President Trump endorsed in May, emerged from a crowded field that included former Englewood Cliffs Mayor Mario Kranjac, longtime radio host Bill Spadea, contractor Justin Barbera and state Sen. Jon Bramnick.
Jack Ciattarelli is in his third run for governor, and he came within three points of beating Gov. Phil Murphy (D-NJ) in the state’s 2021 gubernatorial election.
