“When I’m governor, New Jersey will stand in solidarity with Israel,” Ciattarelli said, emphasizing that Israel has the right to defend itself and do whatever it takes to rid the region of terrorists.
In an unprecedented move in New Jersey politics, Orthodox Jewish leaders across Ocean County have thrown their support behind Republican gubernatorial candidate Jack Ciattarelli, forming a powerful faith-based voting coalition that could play a decisive role in the election.
The endorsement, first reported by The Lakewood Scoop, was announced collectively by councils representing Lakewood, Jackson, Toms River, Howell, and Manchester. Leaders said the effort reflects a focus on turnout and shared priorities, emphasizing that every vote matters.
“Every single vote in every single town is critical in this election,” they said. “Together we share a larger responsibility – turning out every possible vote. Let’s make sure our communities are heard loud and clear at the ballot box.”
