My story is a New Jersey story, and it all started right here on Anderson Street in Raritan Borough. My parents owned a bar and restaurant and raised their family.
I am Jack Ciattarelli. Jersey is where I started and built two successful Main Street businesses, creating jobs and opportunities for fellow New Jerseyans.
It’s where Melinda and I raise our four children. This is my home and yours. But New Jersey is broken. You know it, and I know it, and we are going to fix it, together.
Every one of us has our New Jersey story. As Governor, I’ll work hard every day to ensure our children and their children can write their own.

“Our campaign is taking an important step in our quest to make sure Phil Murphy is ‘One and Done in ‘21’,” said Ciattarelli, in launching two statewide ads introducing himself to voters and taking on Governor Murphy’s mishandling of the COVID-19 pandemic. “New Jersey is broken and as Governor, I vow to restore affordability, accountability and prosperity to our state. Governor Murphy’s poor decisions have directly led to the deaths of 8,000 seniors and veterans in our nursing homes, shuttered nearly one-third of all small businesses, cheated thousands out of unemployment benefits, sent people and jobs fleeing in record numbers, and kept our children from the classroom for too long. New Jersey deserves better than an out-of-touch governor who doesn’t understand our state or its people. As the grandson of immigrants, MBA/CPA, successful Main Street business owner, and common-sense problem solver, I am ready to come together to fix New Jersey.”
