ELEC Approves Matching Funds for Ciattarelli

Former EPA Regional Administrator Alan J. Steinberg argues that there is hope for the New Jersey Republican Party to capture the governorship in 2021 if former Assemblyman Jack Ciattarelli is the nominee, provided he can overcome the anti-Republican landscape prevailing in the Garden State.

The New Jersey Election Law Enforcement Commission (ELEC) has approved $749,737 in public
matching funds for the 2021 gubernatorial primary campaign of one candidate.

The recipient is Jack Ciattarelli, who is seeking the Republican nomination this June. To date, Ciattarelli
has qualified for nearly $2.9 million in public funds.

Under the Gubernatorial Public Financing program, which began in 1974, candidates who raise
$490,000 or more can qualify for public matching funds. Primary candidates are eligible for up to $4.6 million in public funds. In exchange, other than a few exceptions, they must limit their total primary spending to $7.3 million.

    This is for a primary election with one candidate, Jack.
    Who monitors where or how this money is spent?
    That is a lot of pizza eating in diners.
