RGA Statement on Mikie Sherrill’s Socialist Embrace

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Following New Jersey gubernatorial candidate Mikie Sherrill’s comments embracing Socialist Zohran Mamdani, Republican Governors Association Communications Director Courtney Alexander released the following statement:

“It’s not that hard to disavow socialism, and Mikie Sherrill’s official comments saying she shares the goals of Socialist Zohran Mamdani is not only absurd, but it is disqualifying, period full stop. It should alarm New Jerseyans that Mikie Sherrill, in her words, wants to ‘throw out the old playbook’ and ‘share his voters’ goal.’ Just a few of Mamdani’s top agenda items include defunding the police, ending cooperation with ICE, and government-run grocery stores. New York City’s failures have always become New Jersey’s problems and Mikie Sherrill’s new embrace of Socialist Zohran Mamdani is a terrifying risk New Jerseyans cannot afford.”
