BREAKING NEWS: “Political earthquake shocks New Jersey – Orthodox Jewish community unites to support Jack Ciattarelli”
NEW JERSEY — A political turning point is reverberating across the state as the Orthodox Jewish community in Ocean County unites to support Republican gubernatorial candidate Jack Ciattarelli. For the first time in history, leaders from Lakewood, Jackson, Toms River, Howell and Manchester have come together in a powerful statement in the spirit of Achdus – Unity.
According to The Lakewood Scoop, the joint statement marks a new era of coordination and a unified voice in one of New Jersey’s most influential religious communities. Their message is clear: “Every vote counts, and this election will be decided by voter turnout.”
Jack Ciattarelli, speaking to a cheering crowd in Saddle Brook, said:
“This isn’t just about politics — it’s about faith, family and the future of New Jersey. I’m honored by this show of trust and unity.”
Political analysts called it a “power shift,” as Ocean County’s Orthodox Jewish community has long been a key constituency in tight races. The joint letter urged residents to consider voting a civic duty and to show gratitude to leaders who support their priorities — particularly education, transportation, and religious freedom.
Lakewood’s Vaad Council emphasized that the move represents a deliberate effort to foster cooperation between the towns, ensuring that “every voice is represented in a strong, common statement.”
In the letter to voters, community leaders wrote:
“When we stand together, we don’t just vote — we shape our destiny.”
The statement also thanked former President Donald Trump for his support of Israel and the fight against anti-Semitism.
As polls show the gap between the two candidates narrowing, Ciattarelli’s campaign sees it as a historic turning point — one that could reshape the governor’s race and usher in a new era of faith-based political alliances in New Jersey.
