Just when you thought New Jersey politics couldn’t get spicier, Sean Spiller, president of the powerful New Jersey Education Association (NJEA) and former Montclair mayor, has announced his run for governor in 2025 as a Democrat.
Spiller, who’s got a whole lot of teacher union muscle behind him, is aiming to replace Governor Phil Murphy. Yes, the same Murphy known for raising taxes and his “progressive” reign. But can Spiller really do any better – or worse?
Spiller’s run is backed by millions from the NJEA, which is no surprise given his leadership there. He’s positioning himself as a champion for affordable housing, college access, and raising wages, but he’s also got some baggage.
At this time, Republicans Jack Ciattarelli, Bill Spadea, and Ed Durr have announced they are running on the Republican side.
