Sherrill, Ciattarelli to meet in final debate in New Jersey governor’s race
October 7, 2025
Democrat Mikie Sherrill and Republican Jack Ciattarelli will go head-to-head in their final debate for New Jersey governor. The closely watched election is one of just two such governor’s races this year. They’re seen as an indicator of voter sentiment about President Donald Trump’s second term and how Democrats are responding. Wednesday night’s hourlong debate comes as the federal government shutdown, Sherrill’s military records and the high cost of living have been big issues in the race. Voters have already begun mailing in ballots ahead of the Nov. 4 election. Early in-person voting is scheduled for Oct. 25 to Nov. 2.
