ICYMI: Jack Ciattarelli’s son’s 2024 DUI case was transferred from Hillsborough/Somerset County to Jefferson Township — in Morris County.

Got a sweetheart deal after 6/7 charges dropped.

Then Jack chose the Sheriff of Morris County to be his running mate.

Prob just a coincidence.

Profiting off of addiction is the Ciattarelli family business I guess…

Jack Ciattarelli paints a real rosy picture of his upbringing.

Meet his brothers:

Felix:
- ran a major drug trafficking ring in Somerset/Middlesex NJ
- aggravated assault against police

Anthony III:
- suspected of murdering his wife & died by suicide prior to questioning

“I question someone’s ability to be an effective leader if they made money going against other people’s demise.”

Same.

Ciattarelli took advantage of New Jerseyans — as they DIED — *without* power.

Hear their stories.👇

Imagine what he’d do with the full force of NJ’s government.

Amidst accusations that he made his fortune pushing opioids, killing tens of thousands of New Jerseyans….

Jack Ciattarelli decided to campaign alongside this charlatan who made his fortune scamming investors by pushing an ineffective Alzheimer’s drug.

And since he invoked his brothers… I still wanna know who murdered Anthony’s wife & stuffed her body in the trunk of a car… and why he apparently killed himself the day he was supposed to be questioned by police…

Ms. M @msmalarkey24.bsky.social · 12d

Ummm. Since Jack Ciattarelli thinks it’s just fine to drag Mikie Sherrill’s family & events of 30 years ago into the NJ Governor’s race, can someone please ask about his brother Anthony?? 😳
