Mikie Sherrill may have won the primary election but one thing is clear: if she hopes to win in November, she must take the progressive base seriously. The results show that the progressive vote was split—Ras Baraka and Steven Fulop each drew significant support, sending a strong message.

Mass detention is a cruel, inhumane/broken system that devastates our communities. These cages are the backbone of Trump’s mass deportation agenda, and we cannot be complicit and stay silent. In 2021, New Jersey drew a hard line: detention centers are not welcome here. #shutthemdown

“It’s a statement … about the type of leadership that [Reps. Sherrill and Gottheimer] might bring to Trenton,” says @erikcm7.bsky.social

Just a reminder:
- One-quarter of all New Jerseyans (or 2.3 million people) are immigrants.

- 41% of all NJ children have at least one immigrant parent.
Opponents criticized Reps. Mikie Sherrill and Josh Gottheimer for missing a recent vote in Congress, saying it’s the kind of mixed mission a gubernatorial candidate can project when running for one office from the safety of another. www.njspotlightnews.org/video/sherri...
