Democrat in key governor race keeps distance from NYC's Mamdani
""I am not getting engaged in that race because I'm completely focused on New Jersey. I'm going to let the people of New York decide that race,""
""People in New Jersey are constantly talking to me about affordability,""
""They're talking to me about their cost, about electricity, about housing prices, etc., about healthcare. They're worried about the freezing of gateway tunnel funds,""
""Again, I'm focused on the New Jersey race, and that's a New York race. I'm not registered to vote there. So I'm focused here.""
Rep. Mikie Sherrill declined to endorse Zohran Mamdani, stating her campaign focus is on New Jersey. Sherrill emphasized that New Jersey voters prioritize affordability, rising costs, electricity, housing prices, and healthcare. She highlighted concern over the freezing of federal Gateway Tunnel funds after the Trump administration halted funding amid the government shutdown. Some Democrats view Mamdani as politically toxic as Republicans aim to tie the 33-year-old Democratic socialist nominee to vulnerable Democrats. Sherrill also noted she is not registered to vote in New York and intends to let New Yorkers decide their mayoral choice.
