- Spiller finished fifth in the 2025 Democratic primary with 10.6%.

## Summary

Federal authorities are investigating the New Jersey Education Association over alleged links between union funds and super PACs that supported its former president Sean Spiller’s unsuccessful 2025 bid for governor. The inquiry matters because it concerns how a large public sector union used money to influence an election; the specific possible legal violations have not been made public.

Politico reported that about $40 million was channelled to two super PACs tied to the union, including one run by former NJEA officials that paid for ads and campaign expenses. Several people connected to that group have received subpoenas, one confirmed as coming from the New Jersey US Attorney’s Office. Spiller finished fifth among six candidates in the Democratic primary, with 10.6% of the vote; the NJEA has about 200,000 members.
