Republican gubernatorial hopeful and New Jersey General Assemblyman Jack Ciattarelli released his endorsements for his district’s other legislative, municipal and countywide elections Tuesday. Ciattarelli will likely face off against Lieutenant Governor Kim Guadagno for the Republican nomination despite “scaling back” in-person appearances while he undergoes radiation treatment for cancer affecting his throat and tonsils.
“New Jersey Republicans want an entirely new direction for our state and our party,” Ciattarelli said. “As a MBA/CPA, a successful entrepreneur and a Main Street business owner with a record of creating jobs, my campaign is about results, not rhetoric.
“That positive and dynamic message is resonating loud and clear across the state, which is why our support continues to grow. Today, I am proud to announce my first list of endorsements, including respected Republican leaders in Somerset, Hunterdon, Middlesex, Union, Warren and Mercer Counties. I look forward to announcing additional endorsements from all over the state in the weeks to come.”
