George Gilmore is poised to have a huge influence on who Republicans run to replace Phil Murphy when he’s term-limited out in 2025. | Michael Sypniewski/Asbury Park PressThe November meeting was the stuff of urban legend for New Jersey’s political class: Democratic Gov. Phil Murphy sat at a diner table with George Gilmore, the chair of the Republican Party of Ocean County.
But a key connection to Donald Trump got Gilmore a pardon on the president’s last day in the White House. By the following year, Gilmore had again become a force in New Jersey politics, so much so that the state’s Democratic governor and a Democratic state senator in a neighboring county — Vin Gopal, one of Republicans’ top targets in state legislative elections — broke bread with him.
Now Gilmore is poised to have a huge influence on who Republicans run to replace Murphy when he’s term-limited out in 2025, creating a potential impediment to Jack Ciattarelli, a former assemblymember who came just three points shy of unseating Murphy in 2021 and immediately declared his intention to run again in 2025.
But the relationship between Gilmore and Ciattarelli, while tense, is not necessarily beyond repair. The two met Wednesday, and both described it as a positive discussion. “Like all my meetings with Republican county chairs, the discussion is pretty much a private matter,” Ciattarelli said.
