Chairman Jones Statement on Final Gubernatorial Debate

Praising Governor Murphy’s Performance, Chairman Jones Calls on NJ Democrats to Get Out the Vote

TRENTON, NJ — New Jersey Democratic State Committee Chairman LeRoy J. Jones, Jr., is releasing the following statement after tonight’s second and final gubernatorial debate:

“Governor Murphy showed again tonight why it’s so critical that New Jersey voters head to the polls in large numbers and re-elect him along with Lt. Governor Sheila Oliver. It’s crystal clear that Governor Murphy’s leadership through the pandemic and his commitment to progressive values are what New Jersey needs right now, not the extreme far-right approach that Jack Ciattarelli represents. The stakes of this election are incredibly high. We cannot allow our state to be led by an extremist who embraces far-right, anti-science positions at this important moment. We need to re-elect our Governor, and I will be working non-stop over the next three weeks to make sure Democrats and all voters understand what’s at stake.”
