US EditionDemocrat Mikie Sherrill wins NJ governor election, defeating Trump-backed Republican Jack Ciattarelli
- On Tuesday, Democrat Mikie Sherrill defeated Republican Jack Ciattarelli, the Associated Press projected, leading 56.7% to 42.8% with 61% of votes counted, CNN reported.
- Campaign themes centered on immigration and housing, with affordability, immigration and housing development shaping voter choices; Sherrill campaigned on freezing electricity rates, expanding first-time homebuyer aid and investing in transit.
- Record spending exceeded $225 million, with both candidates raising roughly $20 million and more than 1.1 million early voters including 741,924 in-person and 592,647 mail returns.
- The outcome keeps Democrats in the governor's office and serves as an early test of Trump's influence after he endorsed Jack Ciattarelli.
- Sherrill, a four-term congresswoman and veteran, is a former Navy helicopter pilot and prosecutor whose service was a campaign hallmark, but her campaign faced controversies over Navy records released by the National Personnel Records Center, prompting a federal investigation.
