The Democratic candidate for governor of New Jersey in this year’s high-stakes race is defending her Navy service amid questions surrounding a cheating scandal during her time at the Naval Academy, and pushing back against the Trump administration’s release of her mostly unredacted military records.

The full record release could be a violation of the Privacy Act of 1974 and as well as what would be exempt under the Freedom of Information Act, according to CBS.

In the race for New Jersey governor, Democrat Mikie Sherrill and Republican Jack Ciattarelli held their first debate Sunday night and political analysts say there were some key moments that could hurt, or help, each candidate. If there is one issue Garden State residents complain about constantly, it's the state's high property taxes.

Jack Ciattarelli, the GOP nominee for New Jersey governor, says on his website he opposes vaccine schedules but said in the debate he supports the schedule for certain diseases.

Jack Ciattarelli received the New Jersey State Fraternal Order of Police endorsement for governor, marking a support shift for the Trump-endorsed candidate.

One of the the most memorable — and awkward — moments of Sunday night’s big debate in the New Jersey governor’s race came from a middle school student. The 12-year-old stole the show with a question about corruption and a fist-bump rejection. And he later provided a sobering explanation for why he rejected said fist-bump.

Democratic gubernatorial candidate Mikie Sherrill is upset that somebody released her military records from the National Archives. Republican candidate Jack Ciattarelli says the record shows a history of bad judgement on Sherrill's part.
