新泽西州州长初选对旨在重新获得拉丁裔支持的民主党人来说是一次关键考验，尤其是在西班牙裔选民在 2024 年转向共和党的传统蓝色地区。 The New Jersey gubernatorial primary is a critical test for Democrats aiming to regain Latino support, particularly in traditionally blue areas where Hispanic voters shifted towards Republicans in 2024. 随着更多的西班牙裔人将通货膨胀等经济关切放在移民的优先位置,民主党候选人将活动重点放在袖口袋上,如提高最低工资和规定房租上限,以吸引拉丁美洲工人阶级选民。 With more Hispanics prioritizing economic concerns like inflation over immigration, Democratic candidates are focusing their campaigns on pocketbook issues, such as raising the minimum wage and imposing rent caps, to appeal to working-class Latino voters. 初选有几位候选人，包括美国众议员乔什·戈特海默 （Josh Gottheimer） 和米基·谢里尔 （Mikie Sherrill） 以及纽瓦克市长拉斯·巴拉卡 （Ras Baraka）。 The primary features several candidates including U.S. Reps. Josh Gottheimer and Mikie Sherrill, along with Newark Mayor Ras Baraka.
