Democratic nominee for New Jersey Governor Mikie Sherrill has been in the lead over the Republican, Jack Ciattarelli, but the race has tightened. Given who he has been rolling with on the campaign trail, it needs to loosen up a bit.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Earlier this month, a video was shared across social media of Jack Ciattarelli, the Republican nominee for New Jersey Governor being questioned by a reporter during a press conference in Cranbury, NJ; \u201cHow important do you think Black and Hispanic voters are to you winning your campaign?\u201d After the question was repeated, he responded with, \u201cOkay, next question.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Later, on a podcast<\/a> where the hosts joked with him about being able to answer the question (since they were a Black man and a Hispanic man) Ciattarelli retorted, \u201cAm I speaking to a Black and Hispanic? I thought I was talking to New Jerseyans.\u201d It was an odd response from someone who\u2019s campaign website features a page proclaiming \u201cBlack Back Jack\u201d<\/a> showing him in pictures with various persons who happen to be Black. Unsurprisingly, this is not enough to quell concerns<\/a> voiced about how Ciattarelli will be a threat to Black and Brown communities. That especially became an issue after the first debate he had with the Democratic nominee Mikie Sherrill last month, when he answered a question about New Jersey’s segregated schools and a lawsuit on the matter by saying, “We could integrate the Newark school system tomorrow and it’s not going to improve student performance.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It doesn\u2019t help Ciattarelli that throughout his campaign he has been finding support from the far right\/racist elements on the campaign trail, an element that is a widely unpopular segment of the state. That has not prevented Ciatterelli from participating in a press conference sponsored by the neo-fascist Moms for Liberty<\/a> in August. Also, an organization associated with him paid half a million dollars to a firm led by a political consultant who worked for Kanye West\u2019s 2020 presidential run<\/a>, which was revealed early this year. Plus, at a rally in Dumont, New Jersey he was joined by White Supremacist Jack Posobiec. Posobiec enjoys a mainstream presence amongst conservatives despite having organized a rally with Richard Spencer in 2017 associating at that rally Jeffrey and Edward Clark, two neo-Nazi brothers not only with close with Spencer but corresponded regularly<\/a> with  Robert Gregory Bowers, the mass shooter who was convicted for killing 11 persons at the Tree of Life synagogue on October, 27 2018 in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Jeffrey, nicknamed \u201cRafe\u201d per his middle name Raphel and said the shooting was a \u201cdry run\u201d and \u201cmore was to come\u201d  was arrested a month later on firearms charges, including transporting a firearm across state lines and possessing illegal high-capacity magazines. Edward committed suicide on Theodore Roosevelt Island in Washington, D.C. hours after the Tree of Life shooting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
