New Jersey, one of only two states holding gubernatorial races this November, is hosting a face-off between Democratic U.S. Rep. Mikie Sherrill and Republican former Assemblyman Jack Ciattarelli. Polls closed in New Jersey on Tuesday at 8 p.m. ET.
Sherrill is a former naval officer. Since 2019, she has served as the U.S. representative for New Jersey’s 11th congressional district. Before that, she was a federal prosecutor in the U.S. Attorney’s office for many years.
Ciattarelli and Sherrill have also spent time campaigning in South Jersey, an area that saw voters in Gloucester, Cumberland and Atlantic counties overwhelmingly back Murphy in 2017. However, they swung heavily toward Ciattarelli four years later.
