WALL TOWNSHIP – Mikie Sherrill today won the backing of the Monmouth County Democratic Committee.

Sherrill won easily, garnering 338 votes, or more than 60 percent. This was the third convention she has won.

Ras Baraka was second with 96 votes and Sean Spiller was third with 30. Fifty votes were cast for “others.”

Sherrill issued the following statement:

“Today, Democrats in Monmouth County took a stand for our country and the future we believe in, and I’m so grateful to have their support. With the chaos and corruption coming from Trump’s Washington, we cannot afford to let the nation we hold dear slip through our fingers. I know we can help preserve it here in New Jersey and that’s why I’m running for governor — because in 2025, we have a duty to chart a different path forward. I didn’t take an oath to MAGA; I took an oath to the Constitution — and will defend you with everything I’ve got.

“We’re going to keep showing up, making the case to voters no matter where they are, and building a broad coalition – together. From Hunterdon to Mercer to Monmouth and in communities up and down the state, our team is growing. I’m asking folks across New Jersey to join me in this mission, because our state, our country, and our future are worth fighting for.”
