EMILYs List Congratulates Mikie Sherrill on Winning New Jersey Gubernatorial Debate

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, following the latest New Jersey gubernatorial debate, Rep. Mikie Sherrill laid out a clear and compelling case on why she is the best candidate to push New Jersey forward and create a more affordable state. Jessica Mackler, president of EMILYs List, released the following statement:

“On the debate stage tonight, Mikie Sherrill showed she’s the leader New Jersey needs in this moment. While Jack Ciattarelli made it clear he will always stand with Trump and support his dangerous agenda, Mikie laid out her record of delivering for New Jerseyans in Congress and plans to lower costs on day-one. In the last month of the campaign, Mikie is going around the state talking to voters about her bold vision for New Jersey and that is why she’ll win in November.”
