New Jersey Republican gubernatorial candidate Jack Ciattarelli is a student of Donald Trump's masterclass in lies and deception. Last week, Ciattarelli launched a desperate smear campaign against his Democratic opponent, Rep. Mikie Sherrill, to distract from his flailing campaign and MAGA agenda that will drive up costs for New Jerseyans.
Here's the reality: Just like Donald Trump, Jack Ciattarelli has no plans to lower costs for New Jersey families. On the other hand, Rep. Mikie Sherrill has a plan to end utility price hikes and lower costs for New Jersey families. For New Jersey voters, the choice is clear.
In response to Jack Ciattarelli's campaign peddling lies against Rep. Mikie Sherrill to hide his MAGA agenda that raises costs for New Jerseyans, DNC Deputy Communications Director Abhi Rahman released the following statement:
"Donald Trump and Jack Ciattarelli are two peas in a pod: They are both liars who won't hesitate to screw over New Jersey working families and their pocketbooks to give more tax cuts to billionaires. New Jerseyans are struggling with an affordability crisis - they feel their wallets tightening and the financial strains of Trump's disastrous agenda that's hiking costs. If Jack Ciattarelli wins this race, he'll implement the same chaotic and expensive agenda that New Jerseyans just can't afford. Make no mistake: Voters see right through their lies and are ready to deliver a loud and clear rejection to Ciattarelli and Trump on Election Day."
