The race for Governor of New Jersey has been highly contested since the primaries with neither candidate able to give themselves much of a lead. Mikie Sherril has led most of the race, but the margin has never been wide and it’s only gotten slimmer as we get closer to Election Day. Mike Kelly, award-winning columnist for NorthJersey.com and The Record, spoke with Mendte in the Morning about the race and what could lead Sherill’s lead going away completely once the election is over.
“We’re going to see that ideas matter, and I think if Mikie Sherrill loses the first thing that I would tell her is what sort of ideas did you put forward here that would appeal to voters,” Sherrill told host Larry Mendte. “Jack Ciattarelli has put forward his ideas; whether you like them or not, they’re out there, voters can see them and look at them.”
Kelly believes that Sherrill was seen as a perfect candidate, despite not being that: “I think the Democrats thought Mikie Sherill would be the perfect candidate in appealing to a wide array of people.”
