Democrat Mikie Sherrill, Republican Jack Ciattarelli win primaries for NJ governor
Briefly

Democrat Mikie Sherrill and Republican Jack Ciattarelli won their party primaries in New Jersey, advancing to a November gubernatorial election focused on cost-of-living issues and the Trump administration. Sherrill, a Navy veteran, secured 34% of the votes, outperforming her closest rival by nearly 14 points. Ciattarelli, endorsed by Trump, achieved 68% of the votes against three opponents. Debates highlighted key concerns for voters, including housing, immigration, and property taxes. The election outcome may pivot on Sherrill's characterization of Ciattarelli as a Trump 'lackey' and Ciattarelli's attempts to align Sherrill with Phil Murphy's policies.
It's going to take a strong voice to cut through the noise from Washington and deliver for the people. Fix the bayonets, I'm resolved to take Trenton.
Make no mistake: Mikie Sherrill is Phil Murphy 2.0.
