Two Democratic House members, Reps. Mikie Sherrill and Josh Gottheimer, are gearing up to announce their respective campaigns for governor of New Jersey in the near future. This move will add to the already crowded field of candidates vying to succeed the term-limited Gov. Phil Murphy, a former Democratic National Committee finance chair.
Sherrill is expected to make her official announcement on Monday, while Gottheimer will follow suit in the upcoming days, as per sources familiar with their plans. The 2025 gubernatorial race in New Jersey is one of the first major statewide elections scheduled post the recent presidential election.
