DGA-Backed Group Releases New Ad on Jack Ciattarelli's Extreme Record of Putting New Jersey Children at Risk

"Over and over, Ciattarelli voted against protecting children - protecting predators, sex offenders, and rapists instead."

Today, Greater Garden State, a group backed by the Democratic Governors Association, launched a new ad in New Jersey warning voters of Jack Ciattarelli's dangerous and disqualifying record of voting against legislation "stopping sex offenders from working teen night events." Ciattarelli was even "one of just seven legislators who voted to protect parental rights for rapists."

Ciattarelli voted to protect the parental rights of rapists, but this isn't the first time his record has proven too extreme for New Jersey families. Ciattarelli supports an abortion ban, campaigned with the head of an extreme, far-right anti-abortion group, and has pushed to fund shady organizations that spread disinformation and prevent women from getting the care they need.

This ad is part of a $20 million reservation in TV, digital, and streaming ads running across New Jersey ahead of this year's gubernatorial election.

You can watch the ad here and read the transcript below.

Narrator: Jack Ciattarelli protected predators and sex offenders, not your kids. He voted against stopping sex offenders from working teen night events.

He's so extreme, Ciattarelli was one of just seven legislators who voted to protect parental rights for rapists.

Over and over, Ciattarelli voted against protecting children - protecting predators, sex offenders, and rapists instead.

Narrator 2: Jack Ciattarelli should never be governor of New Jersey.
