Mikie Sherrill Faces Attacks from Both Directions as Election Nears

Democratic gubernatorial candidate Mikie Sherrill is now the target of a mailer criticizing her positions from a newly formed outside group while, separately, a Republican sheriff candidate in Hudson County is rolling campaign trucks through neighborhoods urging voters to support the Republican ballot line.

A negative mailer, paid for by an entity calling itself the Garden State Fund, began circulating this week saying that Sherrill “Did not act on progressive solutions.” The mailer displays three red “X” bullet points accusing her of a “Sicker New Jersey,” a “Sicker Planet,” and “Continued Genocide,” and arguing she opposed Medicare for All, rejected the Green New Deal, and “funded apartheid Israel genocide of the Palestinian people” based on a budget vote.
