LACEY TOWNSHIP, N.J. — Mayor Peggy Sue Juliano and the entire Township Committee have endorsed Jack Ciattarelli in his campaign for New Jersey governor, highlighting his leadership and plans to address issues affecting local communities.
The endorsement, announced Tuesday, includes Deputy Mayor Peter Curatolo, Committeeman Steve Kennis, Committeeman Tim McDonald, and incoming Committeeman Bob Laureigh. The officials praised Ciattarelli’s experience in job creation and small business development, as well as his policy priorities for the state.
“Jack is a true leader who has created jobs, built small businesses, and will get New Jersey back on track,” Juliano said, citing his proposed plans to lower costs for seniors and working families, combat overdevelopment, and ensure public safety. “More than that, Jack is a friend to Lacey Township. We know we can pick up the phone and Jack will not only answer, he’ll be here for our residents.”
Curatolo emphasized the need for Republican leadership in Trenton to address critical issues like sanctuary policies, police support, and public school funding reform. “It’s time for a Republican governor who will put New Jersey first. Jack is that guy,” Curatolo said.
The officials underscored their pride in Lacey’s local progress, expressing confidence in Ciattarelli’s ability to replicate that success statewide. “We are proud of the work we’ve done to make Lacey a great place to live, work, and retire,” the group said in a joint statement. “We know Jack will do the same for New Jersey. He has our full support.”
