There is also a gubernatorial race this year, with current governor Phil Murphy challenged by Republican Jack Ciattarelli, Libertarian Gregg Mele, Joanne Kuniansky of the Socialist Workers Party, and Madelyn Hoffman, who is representing the Green Party.

Asbury Park resident Dominque Faison is running for a seat on the assembly as a Green Party candidate.
