Moments ago at the Bridgewater Manor, Jack Ciattarelli told a disappointed crowd of supporters that he had called Kim Guadagno and congratulated her on her victory.

“There are 40 courageous individuals running for senate and 80 running for assembly, and I am going to campaign for the lieutenant governor and those individuals,” said the candidate. “Let us support the lieutenant governor and let us win in November.

“There is no white flag for Republicans,” he added.

Ciattarelli said he was proud of the campaign and promised his wife to properly now celebrate their 23rd wedding anniversary.
