New Jersey Governor’s Race

“Tonight, New Jersey made history when voters elected Mikie Sherrill as the state’s first Democratic woman governor. From being one of the first organizations to back her winning 2018 congressional campaign to working with her to win the 2025 gubernatorial primary, EMILYs List knew Mikie had the grit to win this tough race. Mikie’s victory proves that understanding the economic challenges facing people and having a plan to address them is crucial. We’re thrilled to congratulate Gov.-elect Mikie Sherrill on her historic win.”
