MT. HOLLY, N.J. – New Jersey’s Republican committee members are starting to line up behind one of two GOP contenders for the 2021 gubernatorial nomination. Still, there haven’t been any surprises. Not yet.
On Friday, the Burlington County GOP announced over 100 endorsements for Jack Ciattarelli; the campaign of his opponent Doug Steinhardt announced 100 of their own out of Warren County where Steinhardt serves as the county chairmen.

“I have watched Doug Steinhardt raise a family, build a business, serve as a small-town mayor and fight to make Warren County the most Republican territory in New Jersey, all right here in our backyard,” said Warren Sheriff James McDonald. “He is an honorable and impressive man and the best person to take on Phil Murphy. I am proud to call him a friend and I can’t wait to get to work on his campaign.”
“Phil Murphy’s attacks on small businesses and successful New Jerseyans drive residents out of the state every day,” said 8th District Assemblywoman Jean Stanfield. “We need to stop the bleeding and the first step is to get behind a candidate who can unseat Phil Murphy and bring a business perspective to the State House. I’m confident Jack Ciattarelli will lead that charge and I’m proud to support him.”
Here’s the list of Ciattarelli Burlco supporters:
