  • Three years ago, Jack Ciattarelli's closest allies set up a 501 (c)4 called Fixing New Jersey. It didn't make much news and ran a handful of online ads. And its source of funding was not disclosed.

The article from Politico's New Jersey Playbook discusses the emergence of "dark money" in New Jersey politics, focusing on Jack Ciattarelli, a Republican gubernatorial candidate. It reveals that Ciattarelli's campaign was supported by a group called "Jersey First," which spent over $1 million on his behalf without disclosing its donors. This group, linked to GOP operatives, used funds to attack his primary opponents, highlighting the increasing influence of undisclosed money in state elections. The piece also touches on the broader implications of such financial opacity in politics, the potential for legal challenges, and the ongoing debate about campaign finance reform in New Jersey. Additionally, it mentions other political news, including Governor Phil Murphy's activities and legislative updates, but the main focus remains on the financial backing of Ciattarelli's campaign.
