2JACKSON, N.J. – New Jersey Republican gubernatorial candidate Jack Ciattarelli has endorsed Al Couceiro, a lifelong firefighter and EMT, in Jackson’s hotly contested Township Council race.

His endorsement puts him at odds with candidate Chris Pollak, most known for his past 17 years cosplaying in public as the “Dark Guardian,” a self-described real-life superhero who once patrolled the streets of New York City with a band of other costumed superheroes from around 2000 until about 2020.

Pollak, now running for local office has been critical of the GOP nominee for governor and has accused Ciattarelli of backing “people who are trying to do us harm.”

Ciattarelli is backing the entire Ocean County GOP Republican ticket from top to bottom this year.
