WASHINGTON, DC – Elect Democratic Women (EDW), the Congressional Member-led committee dedicated to electing Democratic women to Congress, proudly congratulates Rep. Mikie Sherrill on her victory in the New Jersey Democratic primary for Governor.
“Elect Democratic Women congratulates our colleague, Rep. Mikie Sherrill, on her hard-earned victory in the Democratic primary for Governor of New Jersey,” said EDW Chair Rep. Lois Frankel. “Mikie is a proven leader who has spent her life fighting for working families. From her service as a Navy helicopter pilot to her work as a federal prosecutor and now as a Member of Congress, she has demonstrated the strength, integrity, and grit New Jersey deserves in its next Governor. We are proud to stand with her and look forward to helping her win in November.”
Rep. Mikie Sherrill represents New Jersey’s 11th Congressional District. A former U.S. Navy helicopter pilot and federal prosecutor, she is a wife and the mother of four children. She will face Republican Jack Ciattarelli in the general election this November.
