Bridgewater Mayor, Council Endorse Ciattarelli For NJ Governor

BRIDGEWATER, NJ — The Bridgewater Mayor and Council have endorsed Former State Assemblyman and Hillsborough resident Jack Ciattarelli for Governor for 2022.

"I supported Jack for Governor back in 2017 and I am happy to endorse him once again. Jack has served at the local, county and state levels of government and knows how to fix New Jersey. Bridgewater needs a leader like Jack who knows our community, understands the importance of opening our small businesses, lowering our taxes while creating new jobs, and keeping residents in New Jersey," said Bridgewater Mayor Matthew Moench.

Murphy has been serving as governor of New Jersey since 2018. He will be up for re-election in 2021. Ciattarelli announced his run on the Republican ticket last January.

Along with Moench, Bridgewater's Council President Filipe Pedroso, Council Vice-President Allen Kurdyla, Councilman Michael Kirsh, Councilman Howard Norgalis and Councilman Timothy Ring also endorsed Ciattrelli.

"Jack understands the value of hard work and individual responsibility, the importance of limited government and lower taxes, along with the significance of turning New Jersey’s economy around in the midst of this pandemic. He is the MBA/CPA, entrepreneur, and hands-on CEO that New Jersey needs in Trenton. That is why he has my full support along with the whole Bridgewater Republican Municipal Committee Executive Board," said Kirsh, who served as Bridgewater's Republican Municipal Chairman.
