  • Unofficial: Gubernatorial election results

    Democrat Mikie Sherrill defeated Republican Jack Ciattarelli in the Nov. 4 election and will be the next governor of New Jersey, according to unofficial results.

    Sherrill, a U.S. Navy veteran, has been a member of Congress since 2018. Before that, she was a private practice lawyer who also worked for the U.S. Attorney’s office in New Jersey.

    Sherrill received 1,792,760 votes, compared with 1,378,391 for Ciatterelli, who lost to incumbent Gov. Phil Murphy in the 2021 gubernatorial election. Overall, Sherrill had 56.2% of the total vote and Ciattarelli had 43.2%.

    The election results are unofficial until a vote-counting process that could take more than a week is complete.

    Vote totals do not include late mail-in and provisional ballots; they are expected to be tallied at a later date.

  • Election: Governor, state offices up for grabs

    For the next month, South Jersey residents will be overwhelmed by television and social media ads – as well as mailed flyers – urging them to vote for either Democrat Mikie Sherrill or Republican Jack Ciattarelli as the next governor of New Jersey in the general election on Nov. 4.

    Sherrill, who served in the U.S. Navy, has been a member of Congress since 2018. She was a private practice lawyer who also worked for the U.S. Attorney’s office in the District of New Jersey.

    Ciattarelli lost a close race to Gov. Phil Murphy in the 2021 gubernatorial election, and was a member of the state assembly from 2011 to 2018, serving as the assistant minority whip five of those years.

    The gubernatorial race is a dead heat, according to a recent poll by Emerson College. It shows that each candidate got support from 43% of likely voters, who will also elect candidates to serve in the assembly and on the Burlington, Camden and Gloucester County Board of Commissioners.
