The Democratic primary race for New Jersey governor is highly competitive with several candidates closely matched as the June 10 election approaches. Recent polling averages show Mikie Sherrill leading with 18.2%, followed by Steve Fulop at 12.2%, Sean Spiller at 10.5%, Ras Baraka at 10.4%, Josh Gottheimer at 9.9%, and Steve Sweeney at 7.4%, with 31.5% of voters still undecided. Internal polls from the Baraka campaign indicate gains for Sherrill, Fulop, Baraka, Spiller, Gottheimer, and Sweeney since late March. Steve Fulop, mayor of Jersey City, and Mikie Sherrill, backed by the Hudson County Democratic Organization and Brian Stack, are key contenders in Hudson County, which accounts for nearly half of the primary vote.

Sherrill recently secured the endorsement to be listed first on the ballot and won the Union City endorsement. Candidates participating in the state's 2:1 public funds matching program face an $8.7 million spending cap, after which they rely on Super PAC support; Spiller, Gottheimer, and Fulop have benefited most from such external spending. The primary is expected to be dynamic, with significant TV ad spending by Fulop and Gottheimer influencing voter preferences.
