Democrats in New Jersey’s 11th District are voting Thursday — yes, Thursday — to pick their nominee and likely successor to Gov. Mikie Sherrill, who was sworn into her new office last month.
Thirteen Democrats are on the ballot for the special election for the blue-leaning North Jersey seat, though two have since ended their campaigns. But with candidates having mere weeks to make their pitches to voters, the race is fairly open and could test the mood of Democratic voters a month before the regular primary season kicks off.
The winner of the Democratic primary will advance to an April 16 general election against Randolph Mayor Joe Hathaway, who is unopposed for the Republican nomination.
