I received my primary mail in ballot today. I do like Ciattarelli for his support, but Spadea definitely is more 2A. ---

Ciattarelli will win the Primary. That said, we must vote for him if that’s the case. ---

> [@InFamous](#): > > Ciattarelli will win the Primary. Yep, a RINO will win (remember Christie?). A true conservative Republican in this state doesn’t stand a chance. But, it really doesn’t matter which R wins as governor. If the state house doesn’t flip from D to R, the new repub governor will just be pissing in the wind, and just be a figurehead, and won’t get much accomplished. ---

Your leading candidate for Gov on the Dem side: # N.J. Dem Rep. Sherrill Made $7M+ From Stock Trades “Members of the House of Representatives make an annual salary of $174,000, and the meteoric rise of Sherrill’s net worth comes as a result of the exemplary performance of her stock portfolio,” the Beacon reported. Sherrill has made hundreds of stock transactions since her election to Congress, most notably during the COVID pandemic when, as a member of the House Armed Services Committee, she was privy to information the general public was not, the Free Beacon reported.

New polls out today: Former assemblyman and 2021 GOP gubernatorial nominee Jack Ciattarelli leads his party’s pack, notching 44% support of New Jersey Republican primary voters. Most public and internal polls have shown him in the clear lead for most of the race, and this new poll is no exception. Former radio host Bill Spadea remains in a distant second, and sits at 18% support. State Senator John Bramnick has 8% support, while no other candidate has above 5%. 23% of respondents said they are undecided. Congresswoman Mikie Sherill, long considered a slight favorite to get her party’s nomination, is the clear leader among a crowded field of Democrats with 28% support from New Jersey Democratic primary voters, an 18% jump from the last version of the Emerson College Polling/PIX11/The Hill survey in January. The remaining Democratic contenders are all much closer to each other than they are to Sherill, which has held true for much of the race: Jersey City Mayor Steve Fulop, Newark Mayor Ras Baraka, and Congressman Josh Gottheimer are at 11%. Sean Spiller, the NJEA president, is at 10%, and former State Senator Steve Sweeney is at 5%. > **[New poll: Trump's backing keeps Ciattarelli ahead of GOP challengers](https://nj1015.com/nj-primary-poll-results-2025/)** > > Released on Thursday, the polls results show a static Republican nomination fight, while a Democratic candidate appears to be surging at the perfect time. ---

Mark Cheeseman would not have made this choice if he had not thoroughly vetted Jack! We all preferred Bill Spadea, simple problem is Ciattarelli has the momentum based on his last run for Governor! If the 2a community backs Spadea, it would diminish support for Jack and likely lead to a Democrat win! We don’t want to chance that at all costs! ---
