Mikie Sherrill Elected Governor of New Jersey
Mikie Sherrill, a Democrat, has been elected governor of New Jersey, defeating her opponent Jack Ciattarelli, who was endorsed by President Donald Trump.
Sherrill, a former Navy helicopter pilot and four-term member of Congress, will be New Jersey's second female governor. Her victory solidifies Democratic control of the state.
The election was marked by disruptions, including e-mailed bomb threats to officials in seven counties, which were later determined to be unfounded. A judge granted a one-hour extension at some polling places due to the threats.
Sherrill offers some reassurance for moderates within the Democratic Party as they navigate the path forward for next year's midterms.
