Mikie Sherrill, a former Navy pilot and lawyer, emerged as a strong Democratic candidate in New Jersey's gubernatorial primary, defeating her opponents with a significant lead. As the sole female contender, she emphasized her 'law and order' background and commitment to protecting rights, including abortion rights. Facing Trump-endorsed Jack Ciattarelli in the general election, she positions her campaign as a challenge to the status quo, highlighting a contrast between change and traditional politics. The results may indicate a shift in voter sentiment within the state.
"I'm going to protect our rights - including a right to an abortion," Ms. Sherrill told supporters gathered in Morristown, N.J., to celebrate her victory.
As for Mr. Ciattarelli, she said, "I am ready to shake up the status quo, and Jack is the status quo. He's not change, he's a rerun."
