Jack Ciattarelli Holds Town Hall Saturday In Old Bridge

OLD BRIDGE, NJ — Come meet Assemblyman Jack Ciattarelli, the Republican state Assemblyman who is seeking the Republican nomination to be New Jersey's next governor. Ciattarelli will be holding his fourth Town Hall Meeting in Old Bridge this Saturday.

The event, being billed as the "Middlesex County Republican Town Hall Meeting," will be held at the Old Bridge Senior Center at 1 Old Plaza on Saturday, May 6. Doors Open: 1:30 p.m. Town Hall Begins: 2:00 p.m. Anyone in the area is welcome to come and ask Ciattarelli questions.

While former Goldman Sachs executive and multi-millionaire Phil Murphy is widely seen as running away with the Democratic race for the governor's mansion, it's more of a horserace between Ciattarelli and Lt. Gov. Kim Guadagno, who are both seeking to run on the Republican ticket. Both Ciattarelli and Guadagno are well respected in Republican party circles and both have scored party endorsements. Just Wednesday, Guadagno was endorsed by South Jersey comedian Joe Piscopo, who was mulling to run himself. The first gubernatorial debates will be next Tuesday at Stockton University. The primary is June 6.

Last fall, Ciattarelli announced he was battling throat cancer, but said he is now cancer free.
