As part of our Special Series “NJ’s Next Governor: Decision 2025,” Jack Ciattarelli, Republican candidate for NJ Governor and former NJ Assemblyman, sits down with Steve to address what he would do in his first year as governor, including reversing NJ’s declaration as a sanctuary state, addressing climate change, and improving transportation.

Steve asks Ciattarelli what his first agenda items would be if elected Governor of New Jersey. Ciattarelli responds, “On day one, Executive Order #1, we don’t let any town in New Jersey be a sanctuary city, and we’re not going to be a sanctuary state. I nominate an attorney general who is going to support both police and parents. We get our state workers back to work.  Too many are still working from home, which is why you can’t get people on the phone. I call for the resignation of all those who sit on the State Board of Education, who have made several changes to the public school curriculum that a lot of parents find offensive, and I scrap Phil Murphy’s ill-conceived and irrational energy plan. That’s day one.”
