Gubernatorial run[edit]
Incumbent Republican Governor Chris Christie, who was re-elected to a second term in 2013,[10] is term-limited and cannot run for a third consecutive term. After several years of scandal and corruption, such as the Fort Lee lane closure scandal, Matt Ricarrdi decided to run for governor based on a desire to reform the system of corruption that he believes permeates every level of government in the state. [11] During his campaign, he has made a legally binding contract with the people of New Jersey to 1) not increase government spending, 2) not approve any debt ceiling increases, and 3) veto any tax increase proposals.[12][13]
