There was little suspense in Murphy s race, where he appeared alone on the ballot.
Ciattarelli defeated three challengers, two of whom promoted themselves as vocal Trump supporters. They were Hirsh Singh, an engineer from Atlantic County, and Hudson County pastor and former real estate developer Phil Rizzo. Both men invoked the president as part of their efforts to win over the GOP vote in Democratic-leaning New Jersey.
But Ciattarelli won on the strength of his support among many in the party establishment, who delivered him coveted ballot position across the state. He’s also cultivated a following since four years ago when he lost the GOP nomination to then Lt. Gov. Kim Guadagno. Ciattarelli signaled his plans to take on Murphy early almost as soon as Murphy took office in 2018.

Any school district planning to conduct an emergency drill, including “lockdowns,” could only do so after written notice had been provided to staff, parents and guardians of students in the district, reads a bill introduced last week by Senate Majority Leader Loretta Weinberg.
