Sherrill, Ciattarelli Trade Sharp Attacks in Final New Jersey Governor’s Debate

Federal scrutiny of Sherrill’s leaked Naval Academy file loomed over exchanges.

Overview

  • Sherrill accused Ciattarelli’s former medical-publishing firm of disseminating pharma-aligned opioid materials tied to a reported $12.2 million contract and alleged he was paid to develop an app that eased access to opioids.
  • Ciattarelli shot back with “First of all, shame on you,” linked Sherrill to border lapses and fentanyl, and said he would grade President Trump an A.
  • A branch of the National Archives has acknowledged improperly releasing parts of Sherrill’s military records, which are under review, while Ciattarelli said he has not seen the documents and defended the FOIA request as legal.
  • Ciattarelli pressed Sherrill to release her Naval Academy disciplinary records; she refused and argued his team had access to the leaked file.
  • On affordability, Sherrill vowed to declare a state of emergency on energy prices, while Ciattarelli pledged to pull New Jersey from RGGI and questioned the feasibility of her plan in the race’s final debate.
