Gov.-elect Mikie Sherrill (D-NJ) is heading to the governor’s mansion in January, and with her victory comes the opportunity for a solid blue seat.
Sherrill won handily in the gubernatorial race on Tuesday, which will trigger another election: this time to fill the seat representing New Jersey’s 11th District, which she has represented since flipping it from red to blue in 2018. In 2024, she successfully defended the seat, besting Republican Joseph Belnome 56.5% to 41.8%.
She becomes governor on Jan. 20, and when she resigns her seat will determine when the special election will be held. She has not specified when she plans to leave the House.
