UPDATE: With only days left until Election Day in New Jersey, candidates Jack Ciattarelli and Mikie Sherrill are making urgent final appeals to voters. Both candidates are racing across the state to sway undecided voters ahead of the critical election, which could determine the future leadership of the Garden State.
Republican nominee Jack Ciattarelli is on a campaign bus tour, drawing large crowds and spirited cheers from supporters in Woodbridge. He’s addressing key issues such as the state’s affordability crisis and public safety. “Hey, if you want change, you’ve got to make a change,” Ciattarelli declared, emphasizing the urgency for voters to act on their frustrations regarding taxes and safety policies. He held six rallies just on Saturday, including one at an American Legion hall in Westfield.
Ciattarelli aims to not only win the governorship but also hopes his campaign will uplift fellow Republicans in the upcoming Assembly elections. “We can win the Assembly. And that would bring better balance to Trenton,” he told CBS News New York.
On the other side, Democrat Mikie Sherrill is rallying voters in Newark alongside former President Barack Obama. Their “Get Out the Vote” event is a strategic move to energize supporters. Sherrill is focusing on the Affordable Care Act, contrasting it with the Republican stance. “The sharp disparity between President Obama, who worked to expand health care coverage, and President Trump, who’s taking away health care from millions, is stark,” she stated.
As the race intensifies, polls indicate a remarkably close contest between the two candidates. With Election Day looming, the stakes have never been higher for both campaigns. Voters are urged to make their voices heard as both Ciattarelli and Sherrill continue to push their messages across New Jersey.
What happens next? Expect an increase in campaign activity as both sides seek to mobilize their bases and secure those undecided votes before the polls close. Stay tuned for breaking updates as this critical election approaches.
