Jack is unraveling, and it’s no secret why: he’s 25 days away from becoming a three-time loser.

Clear media bias:
[email protected] NJ gov poll updates today with "tie" poll by Conservative political hack (n=311) MOE 5.9

-But EXCLUDES yesterday's +6🔵 from Rasmussen (not high quality, but n= 955)). MOE 3

PRO TIP: If you want the Nobel Peace Prize, you might not wanna kidnap fathers, zip-tie kids, shoot priests, rip moms from carpool lines, and terrorize entire otherwise peaceful cities.

Stunning - from Self-Service Jack. 10 years running to be governor. Any public service in that time? Any philanthropic work in that time? No just blind ambition.

"While I've been solving problems, Jack Ciattarelli has been running for governor for nearly 10 years straight." @mikiesherrill.bsky.social

Jack: a decade of self-service, not public service
2 losses, still running. This is about his ambition, not NJ
