New Jersey voters pick former state legislator Jack Ciattarelli to battle Democratic Gov. Phil Murphy in November.

While Ciattarelli’s rivals had little money, they complicated his effort to skip to the general election against Murphy. The former assemblyman raised $6.9 million for his race, while three rivals raised less than $1.2 million combined. One of them, former Somerset County official Brian Levine, was spending no more than $5,800 on his race, while developer-turned-pastor Rizzo, who entered the race in February, went after conservative votes with his pitch against coronavirus vaccine requirements.
