TRENTON, NJ—MAY 16, 2024—Today, the Kennedy campaign announced it has collected all of the signatures needed to get ballot access in New Jersey. Volunteers collected more than three times the necessary 800 signatures in just two weeks.

“Putting Robert F. Kennedy Jr. on the ballot in New Jersey marks yet another milestone in the state’s long history of defending our nation’s constitutional rights,” said Joe Amoroso, national field relations coordinator and petitioning lead in New Jersey. “Voters deserve a better alternative to the two-party system. We are honored to have helped give New Jerseyans a choice.”

The Kennedy campaign has launched a robust ballot access plan to ensure the Kennedy-Shanahan ticket is on the ballot in all 50 states and the District of Columbia. 

The Kennedy-Shanahan ticket is officially on the ballot in seven states — Utah, Michigan, California, Delaware, Oklahoma, Hawaii, and Texas. It has collected enough signatures for ballot access in eight other states — New Hampshire, Nevada, North Carolina, Idaho, Nebraska, Iowa, Ohio, and now New Jersey. 

The Kennedy-Shanahan campaign has collected the signatures needed for ballot access in 15 states, totaling 201 electoral votes, 37% of the 538 total electoral votes nationwide. 

On May 1, the Kennedy campaign released results from a Zogby poll showing Kennedy beats both Presidents Biden and Trump in head-to-head matchups. Trump defeats Biden handily. Kennedy beats President Trump in a two-way race, by a tight margin. In a two-way race between Kennedy and President Biden, Kennedy wins in a landslide. Kennedy is the first independent ever to defeat both major party candidates in head-to-head matchups.
