NEPTUNE CITY, New Jersey—It’s Deja vu all over again, but this time, “everything is different,” Alene Stewart said as she hoisted a red “It’s Time” sign heralding Jack Ciattarelli’s succinct campaign slogan.
This time, she said, Ciattarelli “started early” with his gubernatorial campaign and has a united Republican Party behind him, unlike 2021 when he lost to incumbent Democrat Gov. Phil Murphy by 3 percentage points after surviving a GOP primary rock fight.
