In a high-stakes race that could shape the future of New Jersey, Democrat Mikie Sherrill and Republican Jack Ciattarelli are vying for the state's governorship. With polls open until 8 p.m. and the nation's eyes on them, the candidates are making their final appeals to voters. But here's where it gets controversial: while Sherrill pledges to freeze utility rates and ties Ciattarelli to President Donald Trump, Ciattarelli emphasizes expanding a property tax freeze for seniors and criticizes the state's tax structure. This election is shaping up to be a nail-biter, with both candidates pulling out all the stops to rally their base. And this is the part most people miss: in a year without federal elections to drive voters to the polls, turnout will be key. So, who will win? Will Sherrill secure a third consecutive gubernatorial win for her party, or will Ciattarelli make a comeback? The nation is watching, and the results could have a significant impact on the state's future. Stay tuned for live coverage of the results.
