Latina Civic PAC Announces Support for Congresswoman Mikie Sherrill For New Jersey Governor

Trenton, NJ – May 2, 2025 – New Jersey’s leading statewide Latina organization seeking to increase Latina representation in government and politics, Latina Civic Political Action Committee (“Latina Civic PAC”), proudly announces their support of Congresswoman Mikie Sherrill for Governor.

“Latina Civic PAC is proud to endorse Congresswoman Mikie Sherrill, a former Navy helicopter pilot, attorney, wife, and mom raising her four kids here in New Jersey. We’re supporting Mikie because she is battle tested — she has a strong track record of standing up to Trump and Musk, and an innovative plan to lower costs, expand access to safe and affordable housing, and build opportunities for working families in our state,” stated Noemi Velazquez, chair of Latina Civic PAC’s Endorsements Committee. “Mikie has also long demonstrated her commitment to increasing representation in New Jersey by working hard to elect Latino candidates and women from all backgrounds up and down the ballot. We are confident that Mikie will draw from her proven skills and experiences to lead our state as governor with intellect, strength, empathy, and inclusivity.”

Congresswoman Sherrill is a powerful voice for Latinos, with a proven track record of pursuing policies to level the playing field for women and the Latino community. As the representative for New Jersey's 11^th Congressional District, she has consistently championed issues important to Latino families, including but certainly not limited to, access to quality education, affordable healthcare, and access to safe and affordable housing. Additionally, her support for Latina candidates for office speaks to her commitment to ensuring all tables where policies are discussed have equal representation. Her leadership reflects a deep understanding of the contributions and challenges facing our communities across the state, and as Governor she will continue to ensure our voices are heard.

“It’s a true honor to be endorsed by Latina Civic PAC, which has done incredible work in New Jersey increasing Latina representation in public office. But we all know there’s much more progress we need to make — and as governor, my administration will reflect the rich diversity of

New Jersey,” Congresswoman Sherrill stated. “The Latino community will have a seat at the table as I work to better support small business owners, so they have the resources they need to succeed, and as we work together to address the disparities with state contracts to Latino businesses. And with the chaos and cruelty coming from Trump’s Washington, we’ll work together to protect the Constitution, our rights and freedoms, and the rule of law as we chart a different path forward here in New Jersey.”
