NJ Primary Election 2025: Our complete guide to voting, governor candidates, local races
New Jersey's primary election is Tuesday, June 10. On the ballot are 11 candidates for governor — six Democrats and five Republicans. There are also some contested local primary elections and some contested elections for nominations in the race for seats in the New Jersey Assembly, the lower house of the state legislature. Here's our guide to New Jersey's June 10 primary: New Jersey's primary election — on June 10 — is less than two weeks away. This what you need to know if you plan to vote. LINK TK SUNDAY JUNE 1 The deadline to apply for a mail-in ballot is June 3. Unaffiliated voters interested in voting in the primary by mail must complete and submit a party affiliation declaration form to their county commissioner of registration by June 3 to get a mail-in ballot as well. Here's where voters can cast early in-person or day-of, in-person ballots in the June 10 New Jersey primary. Here is our guide to knowing each of the major Democratic and Republican candidates seeking their party nominations for governor in the June 10 primary. With less than a month until New Jersey's primary election, all nine major candidates for governor — six Democrats and three Republicans — filed their 29-day preelection contribution and expenditure report with the state's Election Law Enforcement Commission. What to know. How have candidates for governor in both the Democratic and Republican parties spent on television ads during the primary campaign? How would the candidates running for New Jersey governor tackle affordability in the Garden State? How would the candidates running for New Jersey governor address climate change and a potential energy crisis in the Garden State? How would the candidates running for New Jersey governor approach access to health care in the Garden State? How would the candidates running for New Jersey governor approach social issues affecting the Garden State? How would the candidates running for New Jersey governor tackle education in the Garden State? How would the candidates running for New Jersey governor tackle ongoing challenges with NJ Transit? A poll of voters age 50 and over also found overwhelming support for Medicaid — more than 90% with registered voters in both parties, according to the survey of 813 registered voters conducted by AARP New Jersey and the Siena College Research Institute. A pair of Democrats will vie for the party nomination to run for mayor in one of two contested primary elections in Passaic County on June 10. There are four Republican candidates running in the June 10 primary election for Franklin Lakes Council. There are no Democrats on the June 10 ballot for Franklin Lakes Council. Democrats are in trouble. It's been nearly seven months since their party's debacle last November and Democrats are still searching for a message and a way to define themselves. If you want to understand how difficult that hunt for the right message has become, take a look at New Jersey. The new battle in New Jersey over sanctuary laws is part of that soul-searching challenge of transformation for Democrats — only on a much larger scale. If the two leading Republican candidates for New Jersey governor harbored concerns that the chaotic scuffle between federal immigration agents — some of them masked — and the mayor of Newark and three members of Congress might not sit well with the New Jersey public, they certainly didn't show it during the May 21 candidate debate. Newark Mayor Ras Baraka's arrest at the hands of Homeland Security agents outside Delaney Hall on Friday night was pure gold in terms of political theater. After listening to the three Republican candidates for governor squabble, I was struck by how far the rhetoric drifted away from President Ronald Reagan's farewell remarks on immigration. If Democrat Josh Gottheimer got to go toe-to-toe in a boxing ring in a campaign ad with Donald Trump, then why didn't he just deck him? Newark Mayor Ras J. Baraka came to the brink of calling Rep. Mikie Sherrill a racist after she suggested that improving literacy among third graders was the key to closing the alarming disparities between Black and White residents in New Jersey. The gloves are now coming off in a race that has largely proceeded cordially from candidate forum to debate through much of the early going in a packed, six-candidate race for the June 10 primary. Restoring the annual cost-of-living increases for New Jersey's public-sector retirees has been the subject of bold promises by some of the candidates for governor. 'Affordability' is the rallying cry of both major political parties this year. How will the tariffs and rising electric bills impact the June 10 primary? This primary represents the NJEA's chance to grab the ultimate political prize: the most powerful governor's seat in the nation. It's an aggressive push for the union to hold enormous sway over the state's political and educational agendas. No longer would an army of lobbyists be needed to prowl outside the governor's office door — if Sean Spiller wins, the NJEA would have one of its own behind the desk. Rep. MIkie Sherrill committed to making a break from the tired ways of Trenton — implying that, if elected, she would not be a successor to the two-term era of Gov. Phil Murphy — without committing to many specifics. It seems as if the primary contests for New Jersey governor have been going on forever. Here's why. Rep. Josh Gottheimer is trying to break from the pack of Democratic candidates by offering a bold plan: a promise to cut property taxes by as much as 15%. Newark Mayor Ras Baraka is challenging the traditional suburban strategy employed by previous Democratic candidates, arguing that voters are looking for a leader who is willing to take a stand on issues like immigration and universal healthcare. The campaign for governor highlights the challenges Democrats face as President Donald Trump and Elon Musk chainsaw political norms and parts of the federal government daily. President Donald Trump's shadow has been cast over much of the New Jersey governor's race. His surprising showing in New Jersey in November — when he lost by just five percentage points to former Vice President Kamala Harris in a blue state that he twice lost by double-digit margins — suddenly changed the calculus for 2025. Here are our impressions of the leading Republican candidates for New Jersey governor. Here are our impressions of the leading Democratic candidates for New Jersey governor.
