The New Jersey Chamber of Commerce congratulates Jack Ciattarelli and Rep. Mikie Sherrill on their victories in the New Jersey gubernatorial primary. We commend them for their dedication to public service and wish them the best of luck as they begin the next phase of the campaign. This is a critical moment for New Jersey. Our state faces significant challenges, but also tremendous opportunity. Whoever is elected as the next Governor will need to prioritize policies that encourage economic expansion, curb unsustainable state spending, and support job creation. These issues are central to ensuring New Jersey remains a competitive and prosperous place to live, work, and do business. The business community stands ready to partner with our next Governor in advancing a bold, pragmatic economic agenda for New Jersey.

—Tom Bracken, President & CEO, New Jersey Chamber of Commerce
