Ocean County communities unite behind Republican gubernatorial candidate Jack Ciattarelli in first-ever coordinated endorsement
In a first for New Jersey politics, Orthodox Jewish leaders across Ocean County have united behind Republican gubernatorial candidate Jack Ciattarelli, forming one of the state’s most influential faith-based voting coalitions, according to a report.
The Lakewood Scoop reported that the endorsement — announced jointly by councils representing Lakewood, Jackson, Toms River, Howell, and Manchester — marks an unprecedented show of unity from a community that has become a decisive force in New Jersey politics.

Reform Jews are like Unitarian Christians—left wing kooks.
Orthodox Jews back Trump by massive margin, poll finds
Most Jews in the U.S. are left-leaving "reform" (non-observant), but that is changing rapidly. In New Jersey, Orthodox have grown by 300% in the past 10 years alone. Within 20 years, the majority of Jews in the U.S. will be right-leaning Orthodox.
You left out number five: Atheists who call themselves Jews.
