New Jersey voters head to the polls Tuesday to choose a governor in a closely watched test of Democrats’ hold on a traditionally blue state. Republican Jack Ciattarelli, a former legislator endorsed by President Donald Trump, faces Rep. Mikie Sherrill, who would be the second female governor. Ciattarelli touts business credentials and ties to Trump; Sherrill centers opposition to Trump and criticized an administration freeze on Hudson River tunnel funding. The Justice Department will monitor Passaic County polling sites, a move the state attorney general called highly inappropriate. All 80 Assembly seats are also on the ballot.
