Jack Ciattarelli carried 51 of the 53 New Jersey municipalities that flipped from supporting Donald Trump for president in 2016 to Joe Biden in 2020, according to a New Jersey Globe analysis.

Gov. Phil Murphy only held one Trump 16 town: he won Cape May City by 57 votes. In Loch Arbour, Murphy and Ciattarelli are tied at 42 each.

Ciattarelli won all the 36 New Jersey towns where Trump outpolled Hillary Clinton but then supported Murphy in 2017 against Kim Guadagno. That includes Lakewood, where Murphy had the endorsement of the Vaad, an influential group of Orthodox Jewish leaders.

Fourteen municipalities that went for Chris Christie in 2013 and Hillary Clinton in 2016 also supported Ciattarelli: Berlin Borough, Garwood, Hasbrouck Heights, Hawthorne, Hillsdale, Lake Como, Neptune City, Nutley Phillipsburg, Somers Point, West Caldwell, Westville, Wood-Ridge and Woolwich.

Ciattarelli also won all 18 municipalities that voted for Trump twice and Murphy in 2017: Absecon, Bass River, Buena Vista, Carlstadt, Commercial, Greenwich (Cumberland), Greenwich (Gloucester) Lyndhurst, Mantua, Margate, National Park, North Arlington, Paramus, Ringwood, Saddle Brook, Washington Township (Gloucester), Winfield, and Wildwood.
