ADVERTISEMENTTuesday’s New Jersey primary results will pit Democrat Phil Murphy against Republican Lt. Gov. Kim Guadagno in the Nov. 7 election to succeed term-limited Republican Gov. Guadagno, who spent much of her last seven years in office in Christie’s shadow, won against leading challenger Jack Ciattarelli, a state assemblyman who had attacked Guadagno for her proximity to the governor. Despite the stakes ― Democrats would hold unified control of the state’s government if Murphy wins ― the race has not garnered widespread media attention so far. Special elections in Kansas, Montana and Georgia, as well as the Virginia gubernatorial race, have drawn more news coverage.
