MORRISTOWN, N.J. — Rep. Mikie Sherrill has won New Jersey’s Democrat gubernatorial primary on Tuesday night, securing her place as the state’s Democratic gubernatorial candidate for the 2025 general election.
The Associated Press projects that Sherrill has won the primary, which tees up a competitive race against three-time gubernatorial candidate and former GOP state lawmaker Jack Ciattarelli to replace Democrat Gov. Phil Murphy, who is term-limited this year.
Sherill swept a crowded field of Democrat candidates, including Newark Mayor Ras Baraka, Jersey City Mayor Steve Fulop, New Jersey Education Association President Sean Spiller, former New Jersey Senate President Steve Sweeney and fellow U.S. Rep. Josh Gottheimer.
