U-Kean Jr. unokuba ngumlweli we-gubernatorial kwi-2017.
Nangona unyulo lobuzwilakhe olulandelayo lusasele iminyaka emibini, bekusele kukho intetho ebalulekileyo yokuba ngubani oza kungenela. Kwicala leDemokhrasi, kukho abaviwa abaliqela-uSodolophu weSixeko saseJersey uSteve Fulop, owayesakuba ngunozakuzaku uPhil Murphy kunye noMongameli weSenate uSweeney phakathi kwabo — ababonakala ngathi bazokuma ngxi ukuze bangenele esi sikhundla. Kwicala leRiphabhlikhi, nangona kunjalo, icandelo labagqatswa abanokubakho lithathe ixesha elide ukuthatha indawo kunye nabambalwa njengabantu abalandela ukutyunjwa njengakubonakala ngathi ziidemokhrasi.
Naba baviwa banhlanu beRiphabhlikhi abanokuba yirhuluneli, kutheni bebaleka kwaye kufuneka baphumelele okanye baphulukane nabo ukuba bangenela ugqatso.
- UKim Guadagno . Ngenxa yesikhundla sakhe njenge-Lieutenant Governor, uKim Guadagno lukhetho olucacileyo kwicala leRiphabhlikhi kulonyulo. Indima yakhe imnike umtsalane obalulekileyo kwaye yamenza ukuba abe ngomnye wezopolitiko owaziwayo kurhulumente. Njengelungu eliphambili leziko laseRiphabhlikhi, iGuadagno inokuxhasa inkxaso kumatshini weRiphabliki yoRhulumente kurhulumente. IGuadagno ikwafumana isiseko senkxaso phakathi kwamaRiphabhlikhi angaziwayo kangako kurhulumente kuba, kulo lonke ikhondo lomsebenzi wakhe, wenze iinzame zokuxhasa abagqatswa be-GOP nakwizithili ezingafakwanga ndawo (kwiveki ephelileyo waya kwindibano yezemali yomgqatswa wendibano uPete Mendonez obalekayo kwisithili seDem lockdown 15). Kuba unyulo olulandelayo lwaluza kuba sekupheleni kwexesha lakhe njengo-Lieutenant Governor, ixesha liya kuba kwicala likaGuadagno kwaye utshintsho lwalungenamthungo kunabanye abagqatswa.
- UJon Bramnick. Njengenkokeli yendibano encinci, u-Bramnick uya kuba yinto ebonakalayo njenge-Guadagno yokulandela uburhulumente. Uyathandwa ngokubanzi kwaye ubonwa njengenye indlela yokumodareyitha kwezinye iRiphabhlikhi zikarhulumente. Nangona kunjalo, lo mjikelo ube nzima kuBramnick. Kulo nyaka yena uthathe uxanduva Umdaka kwi-LD38 kwaye kunokwenzeka ukuba amaRiphabhlikhi aphulukane nezihlalo kwindibano phantsi kobunkokheli bakhe kwizithili ezinjenge-LD16. Isigqibo sokubaleka sisenokungafiki ngokulula ku-Bramnick kuba ukuba uyigqithile iprayimari kodwa waphulukana nomphathi jikelele, uya kuphelelwa ngumsebenzi ngenxa yokuphulukana nesihlalo sakhe sendibano ukuba uyangena kunyulo jikelele.
- UThomas Kean Jr. Njengo-Bramnick, isigqibo sokubaleka singekhe size lula kuSenator welizwe uKean (R-21). Ukuba uyenze yadlula eyiprayimari, ilahleko ngokubanzi iya kuthi ichaze nelahleko yesikhundla sakhe sangoku. UKean, njengelifa lonyana werhuluneli wangaphambili uThomas Kean, unethuba elihle ngokusekwe ekuqaphelisweni kwegama nasekuthandeni. Uyinkokeli encinci kwi-senate, into emnike nenkxaso eyomeleleyo yokusekwa. Nangona kunjalo, imeko ebutsheni balo nyaka apho iRhuluneli uChris Christie izamile ukugxotha uKean kwisikhundla sakhe njengenkokeli encinci inokuthetha ukuba inkxaso ayinamandla kunabanye. Kukho amarhe okuba uKean ujonge ukuxhasa uBush ngomongameli ngaphezulu kukaChristie.
- UJack Ciattarelli. Njengomncedisi we-Republican Whip kwindibano ye-N.J, uCiattarelli uyayazi indlela yokuphumelela amanye amaRiphabhlikhi, into enokuthi imsebenzele ukuba athathe isigqibo sokubaleka. Nangona isithili sakhe, i-LD16, besikade siyiriphabliki eyomeleleyo ngaphambili, imeyile evela kwiphulo leCiattarelli ibonisa ukuba lo nyaka unokuba ngumzabalazo kwisithili. Nokuba uyaphumelela okanye uyaphumelela, uCiattarelli ngumphikisi welizwe. Ukuba uyaphulukana nalo nyaka akazukuba naxhala lokushiya isihlalo sakhe ukuze abaleke. Kodwa, ukuba uyaphumelela, angabonisa amandla kwiQela leRiphabhlikhi ngaphandle kokuvunywa kukarhuluneli.
- UMike Doherty. I-Senator kaRhulumente uMike Doherty (R-23) ngumgqatswa ongasekiyo obonakala ngathi uzilungiselela ukuba aqhubeke ngo-2017. Nangona evela eNtshona Jersey, uDoherty wayengomnye wamaRiphabhlikhi athethwayo anyanzelisa ukufumana into entsha umgqatswa kwivoti ye-LD38 emva kokuba u-Anthony Cappola evumile ukuyeka isikolo. Oku kubonisa ukuba umbono wakhe uye wanda kwilizwe lonke. Elinye icebo anokucinga ngalo ukuba libalekile ibililizwi lakhe lobumbano lwe-GOP phantsi komcimbi ophambili wokulungiswa kwefomula yezemali kurhulumente. Ukwenza kwam ukuba ibe yindawo ephambili yokuthetha, u-Doherty ubonakala ngathi uyabonisa ukuba iqela lingafumana ubumbano phantsi kobunkokheli bakhe. Ukuqhubeka nokuzomeleza njengomgqatswa ongasekiyo-onokuba sisilumko ngokujonga amanani e-Christie's polling-veki ephelileyo u-Doherty ubhengeze ukuba UDonald Trump wayekhethwe nguye Ukutyunjwa kweRiphabhlikhi kumongameli. Olu khetho lunokunceda u-Doherty, obesoloko enengxaki yokufumana imali, angenise imali efunekayo yokulandela isihlalo serhuluneli kwaye amnike ukufikelela kwisiseko sabanikeli bakaTrump.
