Just a day after winning the Republican primary for New Jersey governor, Jack Ciattarelli made his first stop in Dover, Morris County.
Instead of celebrating for long, he got right back to work, meeting local voters and small business owners.
Ciattarelli, a former assemblyman, spoke with people on the streets and inside shops. He said his visit wasn’t just symbolic—it was about showing he’s serious about winning in November.
He also shared that he wanted to reach out to places that didn’t support him as strongly during the primary, proving he plans to listen to all voters.
In Dover, a town with a large Latino population, Ciattarelli said connecting with diverse communities is key. He promised to be present in areas that often feel ignored by politicians. He added that he understands that many voters are still undecided, and he wants to earn their trust.
When asked why he chose Dover as his first visit, Ciattarelli said it reflects the type of campaign he wants to run—focused, determined, and on the ground. He also talked about bringing positive change to New Jersey and reaching out to people in both English and Spanish.
People in Dover seemed open to hearing what he had to say. Many appreciated that he visited so soon after his win. He walked through the streets, stopped at local stores, and spoke directly to workers and residents.
As the general election approaches, Ciattarelli’s visit to Dover marks a clear sign of his approach, one that mixes urgency with community connection. He made it clear that his campaign is not just about speeches but about showing up and talking to people where they live and work.
His next few stops are expected to follow the same pattern: direct contact with voters and a strong push to connect with all corners of New Jersey, not just traditional Republican strongholds.
With this early move, Ciattarelli has sent a message—he’s ready to compete hard, and he’s starting from the ground up.
