Former state Assemblyman Jack Ciattarelli is getting ready to kick off his campaign for governor.
The Republican, who came within three points of Gov. Phil Murphy in the last election, just sent out invites for his kickoff event this coming Tuesday.
The Ciattarelli campaign also filed the paperwork with the New Jersey Election Law Enforcement Commission.
This will put Ciattarelli up against state Sen. Jon Bramnick in the Republican primary.
