Sherrill enters national political fray with first midterm endorsements
New Jersey Gov. Mikie Sherrill is taking her first major step onto the national stage, endorsing 13 Democrats — as the moderate signals she may jump into the debate over her party's future.
Washington — New Jersey Governor Mikie Sherrill, a centrist Democrat, is entering the national political arena with her first midterm endorsements, according to CBS News. With less than three months until the critical elections, Sherrill's Mission to Deliver PAC will endorse 13 Democratic candidates with military service backgrounds running in competitive congressional races.
These candidates include Massachusetts Rep. Seth Moulton and Reps. Don Davis of North Carolina and Maggie Goodlander of New Hampshire. Sherrill, who previously served in Congress and the Navy, aims to shape the Democratic Party's direction ahead of the 2028 presidential election. She criticized former President Donald Trump for his military actions in Iran and emphasized the importance of military service for public servants.
The endorsements come as Sherrill seeks to build a national political profile and potentially influence the party's presidential field.
