Ridgewood NJ, Democratic U.S. Representative Josh Gottheimer has officially launched his much-anticipated campaign for New Jersey governor. Announcing his candidacy just days after securing his fourth term in Congress, Gottheimer is focusing his platform on addressing New Jersey’s high cost of living.
A Campaign for Affordability
Speaking at a diner in suburban Bergen County—part of the district he represents—Gottheimer outlined his vision for New Jersey’s future. “I am running to be the lower taxes, lower costs governor,” he declared. “Life in Jersey has become too damn expensive.”
Known for his moderate stance and focus on bipartisan solutions, Gottheimer aims to make affordability the cornerstone of his campaign. With New Jersey’s reputation for heavy tax burdens, his message resonates with voters feeling the financial pinch.
A Crowded Field of Democratic Contenders
The Democratic race for governor is shaping up to be highly competitive. Gottheimer joins a roster of high-profile candidates, including:
- Newark Mayor Ras Baraka
- Jersey City Mayor Steven Fulop
- Teachers union president Sean Spiller
- Former Senate President Steve Sweeney
The Road Ahead
The upcoming gubernatorial election marks the end of Governor Phil Murphy’s second term, as state term limits prevent him from seeking re-election. As the race heats up, affordability and economic concerns are likely to dominate the conversation.
By entering the race, Gottheimer—a prominent figure in Washington—adds a dynamic element to an already crowded Democratic primary. His emphasis on reducing taxes and costs will likely challenge his rivals to address these pressing issues head-on.

Haven’t the taxpayers had enough of the Democrats who ruined this state
He won’t even have to get new signs, he can use the same “Lower Taxes, Jersey Values” signs.
The D’s will vote for him anyway.
He can take his stepstool and use it behind any podium.
It’s all the little guys got. Oddly, ask the questions. What has he done to lower taxes? Nothing. and what are Jersey values? He has NEVER defined them. He’s a hack.
Promises: Many
Accomplishments: None

“We’ve arranged a society based on science and technology, in which no one understands anything about science and technology, and this combustible mixture of ignorance and power sooner or later is going to blow up in our faces.
Science is more than a body of knowledge; it’s a way of thinking. A way of skeptically interrogating the universe with a fine understanding of human fallibility. If we are not able to ask skeptical questions, to interrogate those who tell us that something is true. to be skeptical of those in authority. then we’re up for grabs for the next charlatan, political, or religious who come ambling along.
It’s a thing Jefferson laid great stress on. It wasn’t enough to he said to enshrine some rights in the Constitution and the Bill of Rights. The people had to be educated, and they had to practice their skepticism in their education, otherwise we don’t run the government, the government runs us.
The thing about science is first of all, it’s after the way the universe really is, and not what makes us feel better. And a lot of the competing doctrines are after what feels good, and not what’s true.”
