McCarter partner William Palatucci spoke with The New York Times about Republicans growing optimism surrounding November’s race for governor in New Jersey, despite Democrats having held majority control of the state’s Legislature for 23 years.
“It’s viewed, nationally, as not impossible,” said William Palatucci, one of New Jersey’s two representatives on the Republican National Committee. “And there’s a lot of interest for that reason.”
President Trump’s outspoken interest in the New Jersey governor’s race brings with it an expectation of financial backing from national donors. “As soon as people hear you’re from New Jersey, you get a lot of questions, interest— and excitement,” William said.
