National Dems boost support for Sherrill despite polling lead

(The Center Square) – A comfortable polling lead for Mikie Sherrill, the New Jersey congresswoman hoping to become the state’s next Democratic governor, hasn’t stopped the national party from doubling spending on her campaign as Election Day approaches.

The Democratic National Committee said Tuesday its $1.5 million donation will be the most the organization has ever spent in the Garden State during an off-election year. It will also help down-ballot candidates through the New Jersey Democratic Coordinated Campaign by funding more staff and extending outreach to minority communities where votes dwindled in 2024.
