Mikie Sherrill Wins Big in Essex County
CALDWELL — Mikie Sherrill released the following statement today after winning the Essex County Democratic Convention, garnering more than 60 percent of the vote with two other candidates competing from Essex:
“We’ve had a lot of great wins so far, and it’s so special to cap it off with a big win in Essex County — this is home and where we’re raising our family. Essex Dems have had my back since 2018, when we flipped a Trump district and got to work delivering for our communities. We have an opportunity to do that again for the entire state this November. To say enough is enough to Trump and Musk, and stop Jack Ciattarelli or Bill Spadea from bringing that chaos to Trenton. As governor, I’ll deliver for Essex residents — from Newark to North Caldwell and everywhere in between. I will bring a different kind of leadership to Trenton — relentlessly focused on lowering costs for working people, and defending New Jersey during this unprecedented attack on our state.”
Sherrill has won convention victories in Hunterdon, Mercer, Monmouth, Sussex, Middlesex, and Morris. She was the top vote-getter in Ocean County, earning twice as many votes as her nearest competitor. Sherrill has also earned endorsements from Passaic, Union, and Hudson Counties.
