NJ-GOV: Ex-Bergen GOP chairman endorses Mikie Sherrill for governor

Citing concerns about President Donald Trump’s influence over Republican Jack Ciattarelli, a former Bergen County Republican chairman has endorsed Democrat Mikie Sherrill for governor.

Bob Yudin, a fierce Trump critic who led the Bergen County Republican Organization for eight years, said he could no longer support a party that, in his view, has “abandoned integrity and constitutional responsibility in favor of personal loyalty to Donald Trump.”

“Ciattarelli has 100% support of Trump. He supports the tariffs, and he is a MAGA person. He will never stand up to the Trump Administration to stand up for New Jersey—just look at his weakness as the Gateway Project is ‘terminated’—a huge mistake that will cost New Jersey commuters and residents,” Yudin stated. “Ciattarelli is unfit to be Governor.”

A U.S. Navy veteran, Yudin criticized Ciattarelli for attacking Sherrill’s character and her role in the U.S. Naval Academy cheating scandal.
