New Jersey elects its Governor on November 4, 2025. Five candidates filed petitions to be on the November ballot, but now the two independent candidates have been removed because they did not have at least 2,000 valid signatures. See this story.
That leaves the three minor party nominees for Governor still on the ballot. They are the nominees of the Green, Libertarian, and Socialist Workers Party.
For Assembly, only six petitions were submitted, by three Greens, two Libertarians, and one independent. Challenges to one of the Greens and one of the Libertarians removed those two candidates. So the only legislative candidate on the ballot, for the 80 seats, are two Greens, one Libertarian, and one independent.
Slight correction for assembly candidates. You’re correct that one Green and one Libertarian assembly candidate were removed from ballot, but the total number of candidates who petitioned were three Greens, two Libertarians, and one independent, so the number of candidates currently remaining on the ballot are two Greens, one Libertarian, and the one independent: https://nj.gov/state/elections/assets/pdf/election-results/2025/2025-unofficial-general-candidates-general-assembly-0619.pdf
Thank you, Peter. I have corrected the post.
Which Libertarian Party candidate got removed from the ballot?
Is that Andy Gonzalez? I’ve been looking for him.
