With 84% of the vote in, Mikie Sherrill has secured 56% of the vote compared to Ciattarelli’s 43%.

The race has been called in her favor.

The Hill has more:

Rep. Mikie Sherrill (D-N.J.) defeated former New Jersey General Assembly member Jack Ciattarelli (R) in the New Jersey governor’s race, securing a major win for Democrats in their first election cycle since the start of President Trump’s second term, according to Decision Desk HQ.

Sherrill, a fourth-term congresswoman representing a district in northern New Jersey, fended off a competitive challenge from Ciattarelli, who ran for governor for a third time after narrowly losing to New Jersey Gov. Phil Murphy (D) in 2021. Murphy is term-limited and couldn’t run again.

Sherill responded to her election win on X:

New Jersey, it is the honor of my life to earn your trust to become this great state’s 57th Governor.

So far tonight, it’s been a clean, blue sweep, with Democrat candidates winning in several states.

Sad to see.
