Democrat Sherrill holds edge over Ciattarelli as New Jersey’s governor’s race tightens

New Jersey’s high-stakes governors race has tightened, though Democrat Mikie Sherrill still leads Republican Jack Ciattarelli by 8 points, a Quinnipiac poll shows. Democrats are flooding New Jersey and Virginia with cash and surrogates, including two rallies by former President Barack Obama, while the DNC adds $500,000 after an earlier $3 million to New Jersey. The RNC counters with five full-time staffers, 50 county captains, more than 15,000 volunteers, and a VotePro tool, calling the contest up for grabs. Controversies over Sherrill’s unredacted records and opioid claims shadow the final sprint.
