Nieto-Munoz, Sophie. "Despite strong run, Ciattarelli falls short of Republican nomination", NJ Advance Media for NJ.com, June 14, 2017. Accessed November 12, 2017. "Many Democrats privately feared running a gubernatorial race against state Assemblyman Jack Ciattarelli.... But he was no match for Lt. Gov. Kim Guadagno, who parlayed nearly eight years as Christie's second-in-command into an easy victory in the GOP primary Tuesday night.... The unofficial tallies with 98 percent of the vote in had Ciattarelli taking 31 percent of the vote and Guadagno with 47 percent."
