State Sen. Michael Testa (R-Vineland), the Cumberland GOP chairman, endorsed former Assemblyman Jack Ciattarelli for governor on Wednesday.
Testa has risen as an influential Republican since ousting incumbent State Sen. Bob Andrzejczak (D-Middle) in 2019.
“The Democrats in Trenton have failed us across the board,” Testa said in a release. “Our taxes are skyrocketing, sanctuary policies are draining our resources, and utility bills are set to go through the roof. Now is the time to continue President Trump’s momentum and flip this state red.”
Ciattarelli said if elected, he would enact Testa’s “Jersey Comes First” legislative package, which would end the state’s status as a sanctuary state.
Testa endorsed Ciattarelli in the 2021 GOP primary, which Ciattarelli went on to win.
“Jack Ciattarelli is the best candidate to lead our party to victory in November and deliver on President Trump’s blueprint in Trenton—putting New Jersey workers, job creators, and families first,” Testa said.
State Sen. Joseph Pennacchio (R-Montville) endorsed Ciattarelli on Tuesday. Pennacchio and Testa served as honorary state chairs of President Donald Trump’s 2020 re-election campaign.
