The exception was Murphy’s win over Ciattarelli in 2021, though his three point margin was far narrower than expected. Rising energy bills have dominated much of the race after New Jersey faced a 20 percent hike in June, which Ciattarelli blames on Murphy’s priority on renewable energy and a state plan to require all power be generated through such sources through 2035.
