Jack Ciattarelli spent his first week as the 2025 Republican gubernatorial nominee on offense, Save Jerseyans, campaigning in deep blue territory in North Jersey and attempting to define his General Election opponent.
“Nobody is going to outwork this campaign! Fifth stop of the day, meeting voters at @arcospastry and neighboring businesses in Kearny, Hudson County,” Ciattarelli posted on X. “We are taking our common sense plan to make NJ safer and more affordable to every corner of this state!”

Improving his previous margin in Hudson could be key to victory in 2025.
Back in 2021, Ciattarelli lost the county 72.45% to 26.23%, almost an identical margin to the Trump vs. Biden matchup one year earlier. But in 2024, President Trump pulled about 15,000 extra votes out of Hudson than he did four years prior (Harris won there 62.34% to 34.41%). 15,000 votes is approximately 20% of Ciattarelli’s statewide deficit in 2021.
Meanwhile, Ciattarelli’s campaign launched an attack site – MikieMadeMillions.com – highlighting Democrat nominee Mikie Sherrill’s failure to report $350,000 in stock trades and alleged conflicts of interest.
“Since coming to Congress in 2019, Mikie Sherrill tripled her net worth to an estimated $10,150,000,” the website explains.
It’s a clear vulnernability for Sherrill who was challenged on the subject by radio host “Charlamagne tha God” back in May and flopped badly.
“I, I, uh, also don’t trade individual stocks. It’s been widely reported. I’ve, uh, I, my husband doesn’t trade, we don’t trade individual stocks,” a visibly uncomfortable Sherrill responded. “I don’t think anyone in Congress should, quite frankly.”
