GOV. MURPHY POSITIONED AS ‘CANARY IN A COAL MINE’ FOR DEMOCRAT POLICIES

JACK CIATTARELLI: New Jerseyans are the highest taxed people in the nation and this is a guy who said he wanted to make New Jersey the California of the East Coast.

Those are the three main fiscal, economic issues that I've talked about all throughout this campaign, and it's resonated with New Jerseyans.
