EXCLUSIVE — The Republican State Leadership Committee is launching a six-figure advertising campaign in New Jersey focused on crime and the economy, the Washington Examiner has learned. 

With less than a month until voters head to the polls to cast ballots in the Garden State’s hotly contested gubernatorial election, the GOP is launching four new ads, two via video and two on the radio, charging that Democratic leadership has led to rising electricity prices and an uptick in crime. Crime and the economy are two issues for which recent polling suggests voters heavily prefer Republicans.
