The former political director for the NJGOP and Jack Ciattarelli's campaign will work with Hanlon to lead the party.
COLTS NECK—New Jersey Republican Party Chairwoman Christine Giordano Hanlon has appointed Luke Ferrante to serve as Executive Director of the NJGOP.
Ferrante brings vast experience in New Jersey politics. His previous work includes serving as the Political Director for Jack Ciattarelli’s 2025 gubernatorial campaign, Campaign Manager for Nick De Gregorio for Congress, and a member of the Ciattarelli for Governor campaign team in both 2017 and 2021. Most significantly, Ferrante served as Political Director for the NJGOP from 2022 to 2023.
“I am very excited to be bringing on Luke Ferrante to serve as the Executive Director of the NJGOP,” said Chairwoman Hanlon. “Through his political work across the State of New Jersey, Luke has earned the respect and trust of party leaders and grass-roots activists alike.”
”He will be a great asset as we move our party forward,” Hanlon added.
“It is an honor to be back at the NJGOP in the role of Executive Director under Chairwoman Hanlon’s leadership,” said Ferrante. “With midterms less than 10 months away, I am eager to get work alongside her to make our party stronger and work towards a better New Jersey.”

Interesting move bringing Ferrante back after his 2022-23 stint. His direct campaign experience with Ciattarelli gives him institutional knowledge most executive directors lack, tho the midterm timing is tight for any real organizational overhaul. The grassroots buy-in mentioned will matter more than his resume if Hanlon wants actual turnout improvemnts.
