Mikie Sherrill is running for governor against Jack Ciaterelli. I have read of this race as a “bell wether” for national politics and a referendum on Trump and his policies. Sherrill is tying Ciaterelli to Trump in her TV ads so she must think this is a plus for her. Others might think that would work against her. Both candidates are using negative ads. It may be a long month of having to listen to them. But maybe I added to the problem by giving a small amount to the Sherrill campaign—a first for me in New Jersey. I have been happy to be represented by Democrats in Congress here and would be very happy to see a vote that goes against Trump.
