Last night, Jack Ciattarelli\u2019s running mate highlighted once again what a Ciattarelli administration would mean for New Jerseyans: taking even more money out of New Jerseyans\u2019 pockets while protecting the ultra-wealthy.

During the Lieutenant Governor debate, Jack\u2019s running mate\u00a0said the quiet part out loud<\/a>: \u201cTaxes are on the table, but I\u2019d be careful of millionaire taxes.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jack Ciattarelli has been an outspoken supporter of Donald Trump and his Billionaire-First Budget, under which 390,000<\/a> New Jerseyans will lose health insurance while the ultrawealthy get a massive tax break.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In stark contrast, Mikie Sherrill continues to center her campaign on making New Jersey more affordable, including declaring a state of emergency on day one to end the utility rate hikes and lower energy costs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

New Jerseyans deserve someone who is fighting to lower their costs and is not beholden to the ultrawealthy \u2014 and that champion is Mikie Sherrill.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In response, <\/em>DNC Deputy Communications Director Abhi Rahman released the following statement:<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cJack Ciattarelli and Donald Trump are hellbent on ensuring the rich get richer, while working families across New Jersey get poorer and sicker. It is outrageous that the Ciattarelli ticket doesn\u2019t think the ultra-wealthy need to pay their fair share, but they don\u2019t have any qualms about raising taxes on working New Jerseyans. It\u2019s also no surprise that Jack Ciattarelli supported Trump\u2019s Billionaire-First Budget \u2014 the largest wealth transfer in history from the working and middle-class New Jerseyans to the ultrarich \u2014 and now Ciattarelli\u2019s campaign is opening the door to raising taxes for New Jersey families, just not millionaires and billionaires. Electing Jack Ciattarelli would be a total betrayal to New Jerseyans who actually work for a living. New Jersey families deserve someone who is fighting to lower their costs and isn\u2019t beholden to Donald Trump and billionaires, and that leader is Mikie Sherrill.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
