Jack Ciattarelli is so out of touch with New Jersey, he supported a ban on cursing in his town. Here's what some New Jerseyans had to say about that.
Let's keep moving New Jersey forward with

Murphy promised to make New Jersey more progressive. Between raising the minimum wage, protecting dreamers, strengthening gun laws, and plenty more, there’s no doubt he has done just that.
#PromisesmadePromiseskept
Obama: Apparently, Phil’s opponent supported an effort to ban swearing. Now I’m not from Jersey but I know that’s a bad idea. If we didn’t have any cameras around, I’d tell you just how bad an idea that is…. New Jersey come on. That’s not serious
Congrats to Senator Teresa Ruiz on becoming the first Latino to serve as Senate Majority Leader! We are excited to watch Senator Ruiz along with Senate President Scutari, Governor Murphy, and Assembly Speaker Coughlin create a more equitable and stronger New Jersey for all.
In an op-ed out today, Chairman Jones calls for NJ Dems to unite around President Biden’s agenda. It’s time for Democrats to rise to the moment and show the country what Democratic leadership can deliver for their futures.

NJ just took another step toward equality as the state legislature voted overwhelmingly to legally protect the right to marriage equality. With so many rights threatened by conservative courts, this step is needed to guarantee the freedom to marry
Two years ago,
@AndyKimNJ
flipped a long held Republican seat. Since then, he's distinguished himself as a national leader in fighting back against COVID-19 & helping constituents get the supplies and support they need. Meet Andy in the latest video in our 2020 Spotlight series:
Last night, Jeff Van Drew voted NO on the House Bill to address the baby formula crisis. This no vote is the latest in a long pattern of Van Drew working against real solutions to the problems facing NJ. Every one of New Jersey’s Democratic members of Congress voted for the bill.
FACT CHECK: Jack Ciattarelli claims that "people didn't understand" marijuana legalization, but 67% of NJ voters approved the 2020 referendum to legalize adult-use cannabis
Last night
@govmurphy
delivered the State of the State where he vowed to sign a bill protecting abortion access and to push for gun control. He shared his vision for lower property taxes and lower healthcare costs. Gov. Murphy is building a NJ that doesn’t leave anyone behind!

@VanDrewForNJ
has sold out his constituents and our party and has revealed that his only real value is self-preservation. We pledge to work to identify a strong candidate to defeat Van Drew and bring the true Democratic representation this district deserves.

@BobHugin

This is a sad day for New Jersey and our country. While we understand the judicial process continues, the verdicts in the case against Senator Bob Menendez are incredibly sobering. We again call on the Senator to resign his Senate seat and allow us all to move forward.
New Jersey’s three Republicans in Congress, Tom Kean Jr., Jeff Van Drew and Chris Smith, just voted for this guy for Speaker of the House.
That’s it. That’s the Tweet.
Today

While desperately searching for votes this week, Jack thought he had a sure thing when he asked a voter if he had voted yet. Jack’s going to find the same thing everywhere he looks — a clear majority of NJ rejecting his extremism to vote for Murphy.

@GovMurphy
made it clear -- NJ will not stand for pathetic Republican attempts to overturn the Presidential election and we will stand up for our democracy.

@Jack4NJ
is having a BAD few weeks. His running mate isn't helping, he’s caught in controversies over his extreme right-wing views, and even other Republicans are abandoning him. Sorry Jack!
Over the next few months, we’ll be highlighting NJ’s excellent Congressional delegation who will be running for re-election in November. This week, we’re spotlighting

We are heartbroken by the passing of one of New Jersey's most accomplished and devoted public servants. We offer our condolences to Lt. Governor Oliver's family and friends during this time of mourning, as well as to the many people she inspired throughout our state.
1. September 15, 2021: A Ciattarelli spokesperson claimed, “He didn’t know it was a ‘Stop the Steal’ Rally”... but from this picture, we think it’s pretty clear:
President Biden has made the courts more representative by confirming a record number of federal judges in the first year in office. Among his confirmations is NJ’s Judge Zahid Quraishi, the first Muslim American to serve as federal judge!
