The 2025 New Jersey gubernatorial election is scheduled to take place on November 4, 2025, to elect the governor of New Jersey. Democratic congresswoman Mikie Sherrill and Republican former state assemblyman Jack Ciattarelli are seeking their first term in office. The winner will succeed Democratic incumbent Phil Murphy, who is term-limited.

Primary elections were held on June 10, 2025. Sherrill won the Democratic nomination with 34% of the vote. Ciattarelli, who was the Republican nominee in the previous race, won his second consecutive nomination with 67% of the vote.

The winner of the general election will be sworn in on January 20, 2026.

Background

[edit]

New Jersey has long been a blue state at the federal level and typically at the state level as well. Republicans have not won a statewide election in New Jersey since the 2013 gubernatorial election, but recent statewide elections have been notably competitive. In 2021, Governor Murphy was re-elected by 3.2 points,[1] considerably down from his 14.1-point victory in 2017. A similar rightward shift was seen at the presidential level in 2024, when Democrat Kamala Harris won New Jersey by 5.9%,[2] about ten points down from Joe Biden's statewide margin in 2020.

This election may be an indicator of the popularity of Donald Trump's second presidency in the state. With the exception of 2021, New Jersey has elected a governor of the opposite party of the sitting president of the United States in every election since 1989.

New Jersey has not elected the same party to the governor's office for more than two consecutive terms since 1965.[3]

Before she died on August 1, 2023, Lieutenant Governor Sheila Oliver was considered a possible candidate for New Jersey’s 2025 gubernatorial election.

As a Marine veteran, conservative, and trusted media voice, Bill has spent years listening to New Jerseyans, fighting for their needs, and championing common-sense solutions. Unlike his opponents, who are beholden to China and Big Pharma, Bill is an outsider with the courage to challenge the establishment. His commitment to cutting taxes, ending sanctuary state policies, and restoring fiscal sanity makes him the leader New Jersey needs to protect our families, our communities, and our freedoms. Make history on June 10th by choosing the right person for the job. GET OUT AND VOTE FOR BILL SPADEA!" (Tweet) – via Twitter.
