Could deep-blue New Jersey flip red in 2025?
On this week’s episode of “Standpoint with Gabe Groisman,” the attorney, Jewish advocate and former Mayor of Bal Harbour, Fla., sits down with Republican nominee Jack Ciattarelli, who’s mounting a serious challenge for the governorship of New Jersey in a race that’s gaining national attention.
Ciattarelli breaks down his bold agenda to slash the highest property taxes in America, restore public safety, champion school choice and confront the rising tide of antisemitism. As a lifelong New Jerseyan, small-business owner and former state assemblyman, he argues that he’s uniquely equipped to fix what’s broken in the Garden State without using the governorship as a stepping stone to Washington.
Covered in this episode:
- The real chances of a state Republican victory in November
- How school-choice policies can empower middle-class families
- What the rise of figures like New York’s Socialist Democrat Zohran Mamdani means for regional politics
- New Jersey’s electricity crisis and the failure of offshore wind bets
- Property-tax relief plans for seniors, young families and new homeowners
- Fighting antisemitism with legal teeth, including support for the IHRA definition
From local governance to national implications, this episode goes deep into the future of New Jersey … and maybe the nation.
