There are also legislative and local elections in these areas. The Democrats are expected to hold onto their majorities.Here is my latest update for each of these major races:New Jersey GovernorIn New Jersey, the Democrat nominee for governor is Congresswoman Mikie Sherrill, and the Republican nominee is Jack Ciattarelli. Although the CW claims that this should be an easy win for the Democrats, I some doubt on what I believe is just partisan propaganda.

According to one poll, Ciattarelli a commanding lead with the public on which candidate is most likely to lower taxes.
