Dear Commissioners,

In advance of your meeting regarding gubernatorial general election debate applications, we write to express our strong preference to participate in as many NJ Election Law Enforcement Commission sponsored debates as the schedule will allow between now and November 4, 2025.

The people of New Jersey are rightfully frustrated with the direction of our state after eight years of Governor Murphy and twenty-five years of one-party Democrat control of our State Legislature.  They want and deserve change and would be best-served by seeing the candidates vying for our state’s two highest offices side-by-side on a debate stage as often as possible.

Voters deserve candidates who do not duck the public and the press nor hide behind tens of millions of dollars in misleading attack ads by national organizations in Washington, D.C. or entrenched special interests in Trenton. These debates are critical to revealing those candidates.

We urge you – in the strongest possible terms – to approve and schedule more than the two gubernatorial debates and a single Lt. Governor’s debate required by law.  At a minimum, we are willing to double that number in both cases and begin as soon as possible to accommodate the more robust schedule.  We are hopeful that Congresswoman Sherrill and Mr. Caldwell will agree.

Sincerely,
