Jack Ciattarelli Declares Candidacy for New Jersey Governor in 2025.

Jack Ciattarelli made a significant announcement on Tuesday, revealing his plans to run for governor of New Jersey in 2025 as a Republican candidate. After years of careful consideration, Ciattarelli made his declaration at a packed event at the American Hotel in Freehold, emphasizing the need for a leader who understands the daily struggles of the people. In his speech, Ciattarelli highlighted his commitment to common-sense problem-solving and hands-on leadership, promising to address issues such as taxation, education, and support for law enforcement and parents.

He also expressed his determination to advocate for changes in the state legislature, including fighting against term limits for lawmakers. Ciattarelli, a three-time contender who narrowly lost in 2021, emphasized the importance of gaining Republican seats in the Legislature in addition to the governorship. He criticized some party members for their divisive rhetoric and emphasized the need for unity within the party.

Despite his past criticisms of former President Donald Trump, Ciattarelli expressed confidence in his ability to appeal to a broad range of voters, noting that the absence of a pandemic this time around would allow for a more effective campaign. He reaffirmed his commitment to connecting with New Jersey residents and tirelessly working to earn their support. As Ciattarelli prepares for the upcoming primary election, where he will face off against other Republican contenders, the political landscape in New Jersey is beginning to take shape.

With notable Democratic candidates also emerging, including mayors Ras Baraka and Steve Fulop, the race for governor is already heating up.
