2025 battleground election

See also: New Jersey gubernatorial and lieutenant gubernatorial election, 2025 (June 10 Republican primary)

Ballotpedia identified the June 10 Republican primary as a battleground race. The summary below is from our coverage of this election, found here.

Jack Ciattarelli (R) defeated Bill Spadea and four other candidates in the June 10, 2025, Republican primary for governor of New Jersey.[4][5] Gov. Phil Murphy (D) was term-limited, meaning, the office was open. The last Republican governor was Chris Christie, who left office in 2018.

Rider University's Micah Rasmussen said, "It has been a long time since it’s been up for grabs, and so, all of our top figures on the Republican side and the Democratic side are finding this an irresistible race to jump at."[6]

Among Republicans, Ciattarelli, Spadea, and Jon Bramnick led in polling, endorsements, and fundraising.[7][8]

This was Ciattarelli's third run for governor. He first ran in 2017, when he lost in the Republican primary to Kim Guadagno. He won the Republican primary in 2021 and lost 51–48% to Murphy in the general election. Ciattarelli previously served on the Raritan Borough Council and the Somerset County Board of Commissioners before representing the 16th District of the New Jersey General Assembly.[9]

Ciattarelli's campaign website said, "When you compare the records of the announced and presumptive GOP gubernatorial candidates as individual vote-getters and party leaders, there is no comparison. By far, Jack Ciattarelli is superior."[10] President Donald Trump (R) endorsed Ciattarelli on May 12, 2025, writing on Truth Social, "Jack Ciattarelli is a WINNER, and has my Complete and Total Endorsement – HE WILL NOT LET YOU DOWN. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN, ELECT JACK CIATTARELLI!"[11]

Bramnick represented District 21 of the New Jersey General Assembly from 2003 to 2022, when he was elected to the state Senate. In the former role, he served as Assembly minority leader. Bramnick began his legal career as an attorney in New York City.[12] He was a lawyer, a business law professor, and founded the law firm Bramnick, Rodriguez, Grabas & Woodruff.[13]

Before the 2024 presidential election, Bramnick said, "If Donald Trump wins New Jersey, I will absolutely withdraw. Because if that’s what New Jersey wants, I ain’t your guy."[14] His campaign website listed the economy, community safety, sustainable energy, preventing overdevelopment, education, healthcare, and government efficiency as key issues.[15]

Spadea was a radio host, most recently of the Bill Spadea Show.[16] He served in the U.S. Marine Corps and hosted Chasing News with Bill Spadea.[17] Spadea's first run for office was for New Jersey's 12th Congressional District in 2004. He also ran in a 2012 special election for a state Assembly seat.[17]

Spadea's campaign website listed illegal immigration, the economy, and infrastructure as priorities.[18] In a campaign ad, Spadea said, "I'm a real conservative, tough on immigration, and will cut taxes. As your governor, I will put you and New Jersey first."[19]

Justin Barbera, Hans Herberg, and Mario Kranjac also ran. Ed Durr (R) dropped out of the race and endorsed Spadea in March 2025.[20]

Polls

Polls are conducted with a variety of methodologies and have margins of error or credibility intervals.[21] The Pew Research Center wrote, "A margin of error of plus or minus 3 percentage points at the 95% confidence level means that if we fielded the same survey 100 times, we would expect the result to be within 3 percentage points of the true population value 95 of those times."[22] For tips on reading polls from FiveThirtyEight, click here.

As a conservative MAGA Republican I am a proud Veteran who swore a solemn oath "to defend the Constitution from all enemies, foreign and domestic." I am also proud to be a lifelong New Jersey resident, family man, and multi time candidate for public office. Because the Constitution reads "We The People" and not 'we the politicians' my platform has always been our God given unalienable "Bill Of Rights" freedoms which I interpret literally. Contact Roger at: committeetoelectrogerbacon@gmail.com or call (908) 319 8307.
  • In my view to put our beloved state back on track to affordability and prosperity I believe New Jersey residents must do much less of what the Communist Manifesto says and much more of what the Bill Of Rights says.
  • To keep our beloved state on track to affordability and prosperity I believe we must support county sheriff candidates who pledge to make election security their highest priority.
  • Because government managed free education is a plank of the Communist Manifesto and for the benefit of New Jersey residents I believe it is essential that our current state managed schools be transitioned to privately managed cooperative schools as has been proven successful right here in Hoboken and Jersey City New Jersey at https://www.stevenscoop.org .
As your governor I will work to make living and doing business in New Jersey more affordable by carefully addressing burdensome property taxes by reducing Trenton's business as usual tax and spend policies.

Another issue I am passionate about is bringing the good jobs back to New Jersey that have gone overseas with Uncle Sam's blessing via https://www.dfc.gov/what-we-offer/our-products/political-risk-insurance

And as your governor I also stand for secure borders, sound fiscal, foreign, and energy policies, jury nullification, accountability of ALL public servants, and FREEDOM OF PERSONAL CHOICE!
The Founding Fathers and Presidents Washington, Lincoln, Kennedy, and Trump because their patriotism and devotion to liberty and justice for all.
Because the struggle to maintain human freedom is continuous I suggest heeding the words of the Founders here: http://encyclopedia.federalism.org/index.php/The_Federalist_Papers
And here: https://www.facebook.com/tenthamendmentcenter
Patriotism and honesty.
Patriotism and open mindedness.
To uphold each person's Constitutional rights and Bill Of Rights Freedoms and freedom of personal choice.
That the people of New Jersey remember the Bacon administration as the good old days.
At the time of the assassination of President Kennedy I was 15 years old.
As a teen I worked as a farmhand at nearby farms in Pohatcong Township doing field work, barn work, milking cows and so on until I was old enough to drive and then worked as the store porter at Thrift Drugs in the Hillcrest Mall in Phillipsburg.
"Bury My Heart At Wounded Knee" that explains the brutality that Uncle Sam is capable of and why it is imperative for the benefit of mankind to keep government as the peoples' servant and not their master.
As a realist fictional characters are not part of my thought process.
"Brand New Key" by Melanie.
As a problem solver I'm generally successful at overcoming issues that come up in my life.
As governor I will work to create an environment of affordability and prosperity for the people of New Jersey by opposing business as usual tax and spend policies in Trenton.
Election security is the bedrock of our republic and in recent years election security has come into question. As governor I will support county sheriff candidates who pledge to make election security their highest priority.
I believe in a governor having the power of line item veto of proposed state budgets.
I would use line-item veto to remove items that are not is the best interests of the people.
Working together to maintain an environment that insures the preservation of the constitutional rights of the people.
I love the diverse variety that is found in New Jersey.
Making living and doing business in New Jersey more affordable.
Any knock knock joke.
The Bill Of Rights has no emergency clause so after the way covid was handled, as governor I would abolish all emergency powers.
I am am absolutely passionate about financial transparency and government accountability.
I would say it's worth trying.

Roger Bacon, a MAGA constitutional conservative candidate, stands for putting America and Americans’ freedoms FIRST! In stark contrast to the current politicized regime, Roger also stands for secure borders, election security, sound fiscal, foreign, and energy policies, separation of school and state, jury nullification, accountability of ALL public servants, and FREEDOM OF PERSONAL CHOICE! It’s high time for Uncle Sam to stop forcing the communist manifesto on Americans and instead vigorously enforce Americans’ Bill Of Rights freedoms! Personal: A proud Veteran, lifelong New Jersey resident, family man, and multi time candidate for public office, my platform has always been our inalienable "Bill Of Rights".

  • I appears my opponent is proud of supporting bipartisan legislation that has brought the USA to its current state of uncertainty. As our SERVANT, not our MASTER, it’s high time Uncle Sam stops forcing the planks of the communist manifesto (https://www.beliefnet.com/columnists/watchwomanonthewall/2011/07/list-of-10-planks-of-the-communist-manifesto.html) on Americans and instead vigorously enforces Americans' Bill Of Rights freedoms: https://www.archives.gov/files/legislative/resources/education/bill-of To get the USA back on track Americans must organize county by county to elect politically impartial sheriffs who will stand up to the politicized state and federal thugs by using my example: https://www.facebook.com/groups/393504956170634
  • In my view Uncle Sam's reckless spending on continuous no win wars, unaccountable foreign aid, and providing aid and comfort to countless invaders at taxpayers' expense is unsustainable, hence my passion for converting the federal reserve banking system and Social Security Administration to national credit unions managed by We The People!
  • By way of administrative courts the rights of countless Americans are being trampled and in my view administrative courts are unconstitutional: https://cei.org/blog/what-are-administrative-law-courts-why-do-they-matter/ And love him or hate him President Trump has a proven track record of peace and prosperity and he is now being unjustly persecuted by his political opponent which is unprecedented in these United States. As Reverend Martin Luther King famously stated: "Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere."
We wouldn't be in this fix if sheriffs made election security their HIGHEST PRIORITY! Send a powerful message to the globalist fascists who are hellbent on destroying your freedom by supporting New Jersey’s MAGA Roger Bacon For Congress! https://committeetoelectrogerbacon.com
I admire those individuals, past, present, and future who place the highest value on liberty and justice for all.
For their courage, wisdom, and leadership I admire Benjamin Franklin, President Washington, President Lincoln, President Kennedy, Reverend Martin Luther King, Lech Walesa (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lech_Wałęsa) and countless others who have or will engage the forces of evil to preserve freedom.
For anyone interested in learning the dangers of large, powerful, and intrusive government my suggestion is to read "1984" by George Orwell and "Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee" by Dee Brown.
Loyalty, determination, and patriotism are desirable characteristics and principles of any public servant that come to mind.
Also let us remember that the Constitution reads "We The People", and not "we the politicians". As the caretakers of these God given freedoms that are still the envy of the rest of the world let us all enthusiastically do our duty to uphold President Lincoln's famous verse: "and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth."
Determination and resourcefulness.
To defend the constitution from all enemies, foreign and domestic.
As someone who is passionate about Americans' Bill Of Rights freedoms I would like to leave a legacy of sharing that passion with my fellow countrymen.
At 15 years of age, the assassination of President Kennedy. In my view that was the day the world changed, and not for the better.
5 years as a farm hand near my home until I obtained my drivers license and then sought employment elsewhere.
The biography of young Abraham Lincoln that described how he practiced his lessons using firelight at home by writing on a shovel with a charred piece of wood. And how he earned money by constructing split rail fences: "Hanks marches into the hall carrying two pieces of the fence rail, under which a banner is suspended that reads ‘Abe Lincoln the Rail Splitter,’ and the place goes wild.” https://www.smithsonianmag.com/history/the-legend-of-lincolns-fence-rail-35283/
As a realist who sees our beloved country in the midst of a constitutional crisis we all need to concentrate our efforts to solve the egregious issues that we all now face.
Melanie, Brand New Key
My determination, resourcefulness, and God's blessings have enabled me to achieve the goals I have sought so far in life.
As the direct representatives of the people the U.S. House of Representatives must make preserving the rights of the people its highest priority.
No
In my view election security is the United States’ most pressing issue hence my passion for sheriffs pledging to make election security their highest priority!
Yes
In my view making a career of elected office was not the intent of the Founders.
Scott Garrett
A few military personnel who were forced out of the military for refusing to get the questionable covid vaccine.
Any knock knock joke
I will not approve any legislation that does not abide by the constitution and the intent of the Founders.
As the Founders intended I would only support constitutionally authorized spending.
For legitimate lawful inquiries only, not political inquiries.
The House Judiciary Committee, House Budget Committee, HouseForeign Affairs Committee
I support complete financial transparency and oversight of all government expenditures and complete accountability and oversight of allegations of wrongdoing by ALL public servants.

The ONLY candidate "demanding that the New Jersey legislature remove Phil Murphy from office for violating his constitutional duties and his oath of office."!

Roger is a proud veteran and lifelong New Jersey resident, family man, and a multi time candidate for public office. My platform has always been our inalienable "Bill Of Rights".  Won't you support the candidate who has no special interest funded war-chest and never will!

  • The ONLY candidate "demanding that the New Jersey legislature remove Phil Murphy from office for violating his constitutional duties and his oath of office."!
  • Have you had enough of "Business as usual in government?" The Constitution reads "We The People" not 'we the politicians'. Won't you support the candidate who has no special interest funded war-chest and never will!
  • Roger is a proud veteran and lifelong New Jersey resident, family man, and a multi time candidate for public office. My platform has always been our inalienable "Bill Of Rights". 
1. I'm passionate about insuring that Americans vote in free, safe, and secure elections which are the bedrock of our republic. 2. I pledge to fight for a sound and sustainable fiscal policy that includes bringing lost jobs back to America. 3. I'm an advocate of separation of school and state. In my view, instead of government managed schools we should transition to member managed cooperative schools. 4. The enemies of liberty around the world are watching to see how much treason Americans will tolerate, as a proud veteran I swore a solemn oath "to defend the Constitution from all enemies, foreign and domestic."
I look up to the Founders of our great country and try to live up to the expectations of those who sacrificed themselves so today we can live in the land of the free because of the brave.
Certain Bible verses, George Orwell's "1984" and Dee Brown's "Bury My Heart At Wounded Knee".
Abiding by one's oath of office and constitutional duties.
I am an empathetic people person with a determination to solve difficult problems.
Abiding by their oath of office and constitutional duties.
My goal is to recruit others to participate in the election process as candidates at all levels.
Joining the navy in 1968 at age 19.
I was a farm hand from the age of 12 until I got my driver license at age 17.
Anything that is non fiction because I am a truth seeker.
As a comitted problem solver fiction doesn't interest me.
Bruce Channel's "Hey Baby"
I'm an optimistic and resourceful problem solver who still follows the Boy Scout motto of "Be Prepared!"
The part where “All legislative Powers herein granted shall be vested in a Congress of the United States,". I am a firm believer in the constitutional provision for separation of powers.
No, just be passionate believer in the Declaration Of Independence, the Constitution, and the Bill Of Rights.
We need to create an atmosphere of free, open, and and secure elections for more concerned citizens to become involved in the election process as candidates.
Being passionate about standing tall for "liberty and justice for all" the house Judiciary Committee appeals to me.
Yes
No incumbent should run unopposed so free, open, and and secure elections are essential. The public and the press should hold each representive accountable for his own record.
Being a free thinker I judge each issue on its own merits.
During my recent ballot petition signature gathering effort one family was distressed that their son was being discharged from active duty for refusing the covid vaccine. As a believer in freedom of choice I think the jury is still out on the effects of the vaccine and the overall covid therapy options.
Any knock knock joke
To a degree but any proposed legislation must fit within the boundaries of the Constitution.
Holding the public's pursestrings is a huge responsibility that is not to be taken lightly.
