Description

Could deep-blue New Jersey flip red in 2025? On this week’s episode of "Standpoint with Gabe Groisman", former Bal Harbour Mayor and Jewish community leader Gabe Groisman sits down with Republican nominee Jack Ciattarelli, who’s mounting a serious challenge for the governorship of New Jersey in a race that’s gaining national attention.In a wide-ranging and high-stakes conversation, Ciattarelli breaks down his bold agenda to slash the highest property taxes in America, restore public safety, champion school choice and confront the rising tide of antisemitism. As a lifelong New Jerseyan, small business owner and former state assemblyman, Ciattarelli argues he’s uniquely equipped to fix what’s broken in the Garden State without using the governorship as a stepping stone to Washington. Covered in this episode:

• The real chances of a Republican victory in NJ this November
• How school choice policies can empower middle-class families
• What the rise of figures like New York’s Mamdani means for regional politics
• New Jersey’s electricity crisis and the failure of offshore wind bets
• Property tax relief plans for seniors, new homeowners, and young families
• Fighting antisemitism with legal teeth, including support for the IHRA definition

From local governance to national implications, this episode goes deep into the future of New Jersey…and maybe the nation.
