New Jersey's decidedly liberal shift under first-term Democratic Gov. Phil Murphy is facing a test as he seeks reelection against Republican Jack Ciattarelli
New Jersey has taken a decidedly liberal shift under first-term Democratic Gov. Phil Murphy, increasing income taxes on the wealthy, expanding voting rights and tightening the state's already restrictive gun laws. That progressive agenda will be on the ballot on Nov. 2, when voters will decide whether to give Mr. Murphy a second term or steer the state in another direction under Republican challenger Jack Ciattarelli.
