With New Jersey in the home stretch to elect the next governor, the candidates are filling the airwaves with ads, making provocative claims about one another.

But Kane In Your Corner analyzed the ads and found they don’t always tell the full story.

Republican candidate Jack Ciattarelli’s campaign has gotten a lot of mileage out of campaign ads in which Mikie Sherrill can be heard saying, “We need to move into clean power… it's going to cost you an arm and a leg, but if you're a good person, you'll do it.”

Ciattarelli then appears on screen to blast Sherrill as being “out of touch.”

But Kane In Your Corner found that Sherrill wasn’t actually saying that people should be happy to pay more for electricity.

She was commenting on what other Democrats had said in the past.

Here’s the full quote from Sherrill: “I think for years, we've sort of said, we need to move into clean power. And there's almost been this understanding, it's going to cost you an arm and a leg, but if you're a good person, you'll do it.”

But the Sherrill campaign has also been airing its share of misleading campaign ads, including one that implies Ciattarelli is in favor of a massive boost to the sales tax. In the ad, Ciattarelli can be heard talking about “a 10% sales tax on everything, including food and clothing.”

The full comment shows Ciattarelli was not proposing a tax hike; he was talking about what other states do.

Here’s Ciattarelli’s full quote, “What Tennessee has is a 10% sales tax on everything, including food and clothing. The philosophy has always been in this state… …that there's no sales tax on necessities of life, food and clothing.”

Ciattarelli concludes by saying. “We're going to look what other states do, and every option is on the table.”

Political analyst Dan Cassino, who directs the FDU Poll, says when campaigns get this nasty, it’s the voters who wind up losing.

“We’ve seen negative ads, negative races in New Jersey in the past,” says Cassino. “We've had campaigns that got pretty nasty. But this is the worst it's been in some time.”

Cassino says the goal of a campaign should be to educate the public about the candidates’ platforms and what they intend to do if elected, but says “we're getting really absolutely none of that out of this race.”
