A former executive at Goldman Sachs will face off against one of New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie's (R) top staff members this November in the race to replace Christie as governor.

The Associated Press reported Tuesday night that Democrat Phil Murphy and Republican Lt. Gov. Kim Guadagno had won primary elections in the race for New Jersey governor.

Murphy was a member of the Obama administration serving as an ambassador to Germany. According to the AP he poured more than $20 million into the race.

Guadagno has worked as Christie's top deputy since his election in 2009, defeating three rivals in the primaries to challenge Murphy on the November ballot.

She has had to emphasize her differences from Christie, an unpopular leader in the state.
