NJ-GOV: Sherrill qualifies for matching funds with $1.5 million post-primary haul

Mikie Sherrill has raised almost $1.5 million since winning the Democratic gubernatorial primary on June 10 and has submitted over $1.3 million toward matching funds.

Republican nominee Jack Ciattarelli, who announced on July 16 that he’d hit the $580,000 threshold to qualify for matching funds, has raised over $1.8 million for the general election and submitted almost $1.3 million for matching funds.

The state offers a $2-to-$1 match of contributions for Democratic, Republican, and independent candidates who hit the threshold.

Candidates may receive up to $12.5 million in public funds, subject to a $2-for-$1 match, in the general election. That comes with a $18.5 million spending cap, excluding super PACs and independent expenditures. The contribution limit is $5,800.
