DGA-Backed Group Releases New Ad on "High Tax Jack"

"High Tax Jack, if he's governor, it's going to cost you."

Today, Greater Garden State, a group backed by the Democratic Governors Association, released a new ad in New Jersey calling out Jack Ciattarelli for his tax-raising agenda. Ciattarelli has repeatedly discussed how a "10% sales tax on everything, including food and clothing," is "on the table," despite New Jersey families feeling the weight of rising costs on gas, groceries, and everything in between.

Ciattarelli has already endorsed Trump's chaotic tariffs and deeply unpopular budget - both of which are making life more expensive in New Jersey. His plans for this punishing tax hike would only force families to bear an additional burden on top of Republicans' costly policies.

This ad is part of a $20 million reservation in TV, digital, and streaming ads to run across New Jersey ahead of this year's gubernatorial election.
