The Associated Builders and Contractors, New Jersey Chapter (ABC-NJ) today formally endorsed businessman and former Assemblyman Jack Ciattarelli for Governor in the November 2nd General Election.  The announcement reflects the broad support Ciattarelli has earned for the pro-growth economic policy agenda he has proposed, according to ABC-NJ.

“ABC-NJ supports free enterprise, believes in fiscal responsibility, and the need for workforce development and other reforms,” said Samantha DeAlmeida, President of Associated Builder and Contractors New Jersey.  “We believe Jack Ciattarelli is the candidate best equipped to support New Jersey’s construction industry and its thousands of employees and suppliers, and so today we enthusiastically endorse his campaign for Governor of New Jersey.”

“Mr. Ciattarelli, along with his running mate former State Senator Diane Allen, have articulated clear positions on issues important to ABC members,” DeAlmeida continued. “He has a proven pro-business track record and understands that with good public policy businesses can create more jobs. His agenda will help grow the economy and make New Jersey a more affordable place for families to live.  There is no doubt that Jack Ciattarelli is the best candidate to lead our state over the next four years.”
