Where NJ gubernatorial candidates stand on affordability, immigration, and education

NEW JERSEY (WABC) -- New Jersey is one of two states electing a governor this year and political observers say the results could provide clues on how voters feel about the start of President Trump's second term in office.

Trump is central to the race which pits Republican Jack Ciattarelli, a businessman and former assemblyman making his third run for governor, against Democrat Mikie Sherrill, a fourth-term congresswoman and a former Navy helicopter pilot.

New Jersey reporters Anthony Johnson and Toni Yates are covering the race and have more on where the candidates stand on key issues and where the race stands with just two weeks to go.
