Phil Murphy and the current political establishment.
From Englewood to Elizabeth, from Lakewood to Passaic, from Toms River to Teaneck, Jewish families are watching this race closely and seeing a candidate who does more than make promises. Jack Ciattarelli shows up, listens and fights for the values of the Jewish community and has made his positions clear:
- He supports school choice and private school vouchers, following the model of Florida and Ohio.
- He is committed to fighting antisemitism on college campuses and throughout the state.
- He will cut taxes, invest in infrastructure like the crumbling roads of New Jersey, and support small business growth.
- He will rebuild New Jersey’s trade relationship with Israel, which dropped from $1.6 billion to $1.2 billion under Murphy, while New York increased its trade to $14.5 billion.
“Whether you eat machine matzah or shmura, gebrokts or not; I may not know every minhag,” Ciattarelli quipped during a recent visit to Lakewood, “But I do know what matters to this community. And I do know how to fix New Jersey.”
Ciattarelli is not a newcomer. In the 2021 gubernatorial election, Ciattarelli won more than 77% of the Orthodox vote despite endorsements for his opponent by prominent local leaders. That turnout sent a message. Today, that message is growing stronger across the state.
This primary is not just about party lines. It is about leadership, values and whether the Orthodox voice in New Jersey will be heard.
Primary Day is June 10. Jack Ciattarelli is ready to lead. Let’s make our voices count.
