The endorsement comes following a Vaad meeting today.
Current polls show the candidates neck and neck – an indicator New Jersey could flip red in the upcoming gubernatorial election this November.

Who will YOU be voting for?

vote for Jack!
he’s not ashamed to be smart!
he is not too shy to get it done right!
get your [own or your] neighbor’s kids back into school,
this year!
Does anyone care who the vaad endorses #AFAF
Good point.
can the names of the VADD members be posted so that we can see exactly who is deciding for the klal,
💯
Didn’t the Vaad already endorse him
in the Republican Primary?? I’m know this is the General Election but they already endorsed him?
I was going to vote for him but now will have to vote for Sherril.
Why?
Because I need to counter the weight being placed on the scale by the nameless Vaad.
If you’re being serious that is a terrible reason for voting for someone purely to go against what the Vaad says.
I have a friend that used to talk like you. Until he needs connections for a serious matter and his big talk went out the window…
Yehuda L. anonymous Vaad connections aren’t very useful if they don’t have names.
Tell me who the Vaad is and then maybe I’ll listen to them
Who cares who the Vaad is! Vote for whoever YOU want to win!! Why is your vote dependent on who the Vaad endorses and then you do the opposite?! !!!!!שוטה שבעולם
Because I believe that the Vaad does not have our best interests in mind. And I want to the politicians to see that the Vaad’s influence is not as large as it seems.
Cute your nose to spite your face, go ahead.
?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
Vote Jack Ciattarelli for Governor!!!
As if they’d ever endorse a woman?
True.
To suggest that of all the issues facing the Lakewood community, the only one anyone cares about is that Sherill is a woman, is highly offensive and flies in the face of the fact that the vaad has endorsed many woman in the past.
Like all “progressives” and “Liberals”, you are the perfect representation of narrow mindedness and bigotry you claim to oppose.
Ridiculous! Of course they would! In this case the preferred candidate is a man. That is not a reason not to endorse him!
If this is serious, it’s the most absurd comment I’ve ever seen here. It’s too ridiculously comical to be offensive. No one in Lakewood cares what gender their politicians are! If a Margaret Thatcher clone ran for governor here, she would easily get 95% of the Lakewood vote.
Did they endorse cristy todd whitman? Though she may have been a republican, and they hold theor nose endorsing republicans. A republican woman is even worse.
Exactly!!! And it is a woman who we need now in NJ! Defend the rights of all…no matter what they look like. ,Defeat Opiod Maga Jack!
What needs defending is freedom and Constitutional rights. The Democrat party and the NJ Govermor Democrat party, don’t believe in either.
Why not. They endorsed Chrissy Whitman.
why shouldn’t they?
He’s going to cut social programs and Medicare, how are our families supposed to support us!?
Get a job. I can’t afford my health insuraance and I’m not able to get programs. Why should I pay for your health insurance?
What VADD ?
Even though jack’s Muslim advisor said his campaign doesn’t accept money from Jews?
I always support the Vaad, but I am concerned the Republicans will cut HUD and other benefits like SNAP. How will I pay for rent and food then? I have gotten these entitlements since 1988, what will I do? I might ignore their advice this time.
