The New Jersey governor’s race has emerged as the 2025 election cycle’s most competitive fight as recent polling shows that, with election day under a week out, Democratic candidate Mikie Sherrill and Republican candidate Jack Ciattarelli are in a statistical tie.

Democrat Mikie Sherrill is favored to win, but Jack Ciattarelli beat expectations in 2021, as did Trump last year.

By Joseph Ax PRINCETON, New Jersey (Reuters) -The closely contested New Jersey governor's race between Democrat Mikie Sherrill and Republican Jack Ciattarelli has set new spending records and drawn political heavyweights,

Democrats showed up in reliably red Monmouth County, stumping for their gubernatorial nominee Mikie Sherrill and blasting Donald Trump.

The candidates' focus on affordability could provide a future road map for the party, even as they’ve danced around trickier issues such as trans rights and immigration.

Representative Mikie Sherrill’s campaign represents a Rorschach test for the Democratic Party as she runs in Tuesday’s election against a Trump-endorsed Republican, Jack Ciattarelli.

Former President Barack Obama formally endorsed New Jersey’s Democratic gubernatorial nominee, Rep. Mikie Sherill, in a new ad first reported by ABC News.

In the race for New Jersey governor, Democratic nominee Mikie Sherrill is trying to reverse Donald Trump’s gains with Latino voters in the 2024 election while her Republican rival, Jack Ciattarelli, is seeking to build on them.
