MORRIS COUNTY, NEW JERSEY, JUL 22 – Ciattarelli chose Gannon to strengthen law-and-order messaging and leverage his 39 years in law enforcement, including launching the HOPE ONE opioid recovery unit, campaign officials said.
- On July 23, Jack Ciattarelli announced Morris County Sheriff James Gannon as his running mate at Johnnies Tavern in Boonton.
- Amid Democratic gains in Morris County, Ciattarelli chose Gannon, a bipartisan sheriff, to bolster his public safety message and support base, strategic for the November race.
- Gannon, 65, was elected sheriff in 2016 with nearly 63%, and Ciattarelli said, `a decorated law enforcement officer, a problem solver, and someone who I know can work with me to fix our state`.
