ICYMI: New Jersey, National Women’s Groups Unite Behind Mikie Sherrill for Governor 

 

BLOOMFIELD — In case you missed it, three major women’s advocacy groups endorsed Mikie Sherrill for Governor of New Jersey — Latina Civic PAC, Vote Mama, and the National Women’s Political Caucus. Mikie has also earned support from EMILYs List, Elect Democratic Women, Chatham Moms for Change, Morris County Democratic Women’s Caucus, the Democratic Task Force of the Women’s Political Caucus of New Jersey, and more.

Latina Civic PAC is New Jersey’s leading statewide Latina organization seeking to increase Latina representation in government and politics. Read more from the New Jersey Globe:

The Latina Civic PAC has recommended Rep. Mikie Sherrill (D-Montclair) for the Democratic nomination for governor, giving the four-term congresswoman the support of a statewide group with an ability to raise money and influence votes.

“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.”

Four candidates sought the group’s endorsement: Newark Mayor Ras Baraka, Jersey City Mayor Steve Fulop, Rep. Josh Gottheimer (D-Tenafly), and Sherrill.

Vote Mama is the nation’s first and only PAC focused solely on electing, supporting, and mentoring Democratic moms: 

“Mikie is the kind of leader our country needs right now—a mom who doesn’t just understand the challenges families face but who has dedicated her life to fixing them. And in 2025, all eyes will be on New Jersey as one of only two states with gubernatorial elections. Mikie Sherrill’s campaign is not only historic—it’s essential. She’s a decorated veteran and a proven leader, and when elected, she will be the first Democratic woman governor in New Jersey history. At a time when New Jersey is at risk of shifting further to the right, Mikie has the experience and vision to bring voters back and re-center our politics around compassion, integrity, and family-focused policies. Vote Mama is proud to support her because when moms lead, we all win,” said Liuba Grechen Shirley, founder and CEO of Vote Mama.

The National Women’s Political Caucus is a grassroots organization dedicated to increasing women’s participation in the political process at all levels of government: 

“The National Women’s Political Caucus proudly endorses Mikie Sherrill for Governor because she’s a proven leader who champions women’s rights, equity, and opportunity. Her integrity, experience, and vision make her the right choice for New Jersey,” said NWPC President, Deidre Malone.
