“She gives these like [former Vice President Kamala Harris] word salad answers, whether she supports boys playing against girls in the state or how much she plans on raising taxes,” he said.

Concha also noted that Sherrill struggles to explain to voters why she didn’t walk at her Naval Academy graduation and how she managed to make $7 million in stock trading. “She simply cannot explain how she made $7 million while trading defense stocks, all while sitting on the armed services committee in the House, and that’s something voters don’t like on either side of the aisle,” Concha said.

Looking at polling data from the last New Jersey gubernatorial race, Concha pointed out that Ciattarelli was down 8 to 10 points at this point four years ago. However, in this election cycle, he is performing better. “He barely lost that race,” Concha said. “Now think about what he has going for him now: real name recognition, campaign experience, [and a] vulnerable opponent.”

Currently, Sherrill is ahead of Ciattarelli by 5 points among likely New Jersey voters, down from an 8-point lead in late September, according to a recent Fox News survey.
