Election 2025’s primary cycle is in full swing, Save Jerseyans, and the candidates’ respective camps are lining up endorsements and planting flags on the map.
On Wednesday, the campaign of Jack Ciattarelli announced the support of most of the senior GOP officials in Atlantic County, New Jersey, which as of this writing accounts for about 3.5% of Donald Trump’s statewide vote total and about 4% of his haul in 2021 when he came within 3-points of defeating Phil Murphy.
“Jack has put in the work here in Atlantic County. He’s fought hard to help us elect strong Republican leaders, from President Donald Trump to Senator Vince Polistina and our proud team of county and local officials all over Atlantic County,” County Republican Chairman Don Purdy explained in a press release. “Jack has been there for us, he understands the needs of Atlantic County workers and families, and will deliver the change New Jersey desperately needs after eight years of Phil Murphy.”
Ciattarelli is facing off with NJ 101.5 host Bill Spadea, former state Senator Ed Durr, and state Senator Jon Bramnick for the Republican nomination.
