6 rock star Democrats who could be New Jersey’s next governor

The race for the next New Jersey governor is heating up with a powerhouse cast of Democratic contenders vying for the position. The field includes mayors of the state’s largest cities, influential members of Congress, and former state Senate leaders. With current Governor Phil Murphy term-limited out, six Democrats are competing in a free-for-all June primary contest.

The diversity among the candidates ranges from tax-cutting centrists to minimum wage-raising progressives. Each candidate has a unique platform and strategy to appeal to Democratic voters across the state. This primary race will be a test to see what resonates with the party’s base after recent setbacks in Washington.

New Jersey, a blue-leaning state with a significant Democratic voter advantage, is not taking a GOP victory for granted. The 2025 gubernatorial race is one of just two nationwide, making it a high-stakes contest for both parties.

The elimination of the “county line” ballot design, which gave party bosses outsized influence in past primaries, will make this primary more fair and unpredictable. Candidates like Jersey City Mayor Steven Fulop are explicitly challenging the party machine, promising a change in the state’s political landscape.

Among the contenders, there are moderates like Rep. Mikie Sherrill, who brings a centrist background and a track record of flipping a GOP House seat. Sherrill’s focus on affordability and new leadership in the Democratic party has garnered support from key parts of the party establishment.

On the progressive side, Newark Mayor Ras Baraka is running on a platform of raising taxes on the wealthy and creating a public health insurance option. Baraka, the son of renowned poet Amiri Baraka, aims to address societal disparities impacting communities of color and advocate for police reform.

Mayor Fulop of Jersey City is also courting progressives while challenging the state’s political bosses. His campaign focuses on fair primary ballots and progressive policies like raising the minimum wage.

A wildcard in the race is Sean Spiller, head of the NJEA, the state’s largest teachers union. Spiller, the former mayor of Montclair, brings the union’s financial support and progressive credentials to the race. With the backing of the NJEA’s 200,000 members, Spiller could emerge as a strong contender in the primary.

As the Democratic primary in New Jersey unfolds, the candidates will need to navigate a changing political landscape and appeal to a diverse electorate. The outcome of this race will shape the future of the state and set the stage for a competitive general election.
