TRENTON, N.J. (AP) — New Jersey Democratic Gov. Phil Murphy has had the biggest cash haul and spent the most so far in this year's gubernatorial primary, followed by Republican candidate Jack Ciattarelli, who vastly leads his three GOP challengers, state officials revealed Wednesday.
The Election Law Enforcement Commission released a snapshot of the candidates' fundraising and spending less than a month ahead of the June 8 primary.
Murphy is running unopposed in the Democratic primary after two would-be rivals got tossed from the ballot over faulty ballot petitions. He aims to become the first Democrat to win reelection in more than four decades.
