What do you most want to see under New Jersey's next governor?

Democratic gubernatorial candidate Phil Murphy participated in a town hall event co-hosted by NJ.com and the Eagleton Center on the American Governor, at Rutgers University, on Wednesday night. The town hall was broadcast live on the NJ.com Facebook page.

Star-Ledger editorial page editor Tom Moran moderated the conversation with Murphy, who took questions from NJ Advance Media politics reporter Matt Arco and the audience, live from the historic Wood Lawn Mansion in New Brunswick.

The event was also broadcast live on 88.7 WRSU-FM, Rutgers radio and wrsu.org online.

A former Golden Sachs executive and the U.S. ambassador to Germany under President Obama, Murphy is leading Republican candidate Lt. Gov. Kim Guadagno in the polls with double digits. Guadagno withdrew from her Sept. 28 NJ.com-Eagleton town hall 10 days prior to the event, citing a conflict in her demanding campaign schedule.

Murphy and Guadagno will still face off in two televised debates on Oct. 10 and Oct. 18.

NJ.com and Eagleton will host Q&As with the third-party and independent gubernatorial candidates on Oct. 20 at Eagleton.

The winner of the Nov. 7 election succeeds Gov. Chris Christie, whose two terms ends Jan. 16.
