On the eve of New Jersey’s most consequential governor’s race in decades, Army Capt. Jake Ciattarelli touched down from Kuwait and stunned a packed Murph’s Tavern with a battlefield-style surprise for his father. The campaign room exploded in thunderous “USA!” chants as the GOP standard-bearer embraced his son—proof positive of the Ciattarelli family’s unwavering commitment to service.

Jack Ciattarelli has run on leadership, integrity and real results. But nothing showcases those values better than a son who trades campaign signs for camoufl age. Jake’s unannounced return drove home a simple truth: true patriots don’t punch ballots—they punch forward.

No hedging here. New Jersey voters deserve unfiltered facts. Ciattarelli’s key policy: restore law and order, slash taxes, cut wasteful spending. He’ll stand shoulder-to-shoulder with law-abiding citizens, not pandering to special interests or career politicians.

Democratic rival Mikie Sherrill may boast fancy Washington connections, but can she match the resolve of an Army family? Polls show Ciattarelli trailing by 3.3 points. That gap is bridgeable with one final surge: grassroots volunteers, veteran outreach and a relentless ground game.

Tonight, the Ciattarelli campaign goes live on a televised rally with President Trump. Hundreds of volunteers will fan out across Neptune City and Raritan, reminding every voter why New Jersey must choose freedom over higher taxes, strong borders over open-ended bailouts.

Jake Ciattarelli returns to Kuwait Thursday, but his impact here stays. He exemplifies the grit New Jersey needs in its next governor. Jack Ciattarelli isn’t just running a campaign—he’s leading a movement to reclaim our state’s future.

This election comes down to a clear choice: elect a proven fighter for New Jersey families, or settle for the same old political status quo. There’s no middle ground. Tonight, we vote for victory.
