More than a century ago, former Assemblyman Jack Ciattarelli’s grandparents came to New Jersey from Valentano, Italy. He mentions his family’s story often, including during his victory speech in June’s Republican primary. Ciattarelli lost his first attempt at being the Republican nominee for governor in 2017 to then-Lt. Gov. In addition to Trump, Ciattarelli also has the endorsement of former Gov. Cittarelli said it should not be driven by mandated quotas on municipalities “regardless of whether there’s the infrastructure or jobs.”
