Trenton, New Jersey – The Latino Action Network today announced its endorsement of Mikie Sherrill’s campaign to serve as New Jersey’s next governor, citing her strong stances on education and economic opportunity and her commitment to protecting the constitutional rights of all our state’s residents.
“Mikie Sherrill has a track record in Congress of fighting for our communities,” said Latino Action Network President Javier Robles. “We know that she will bring that same commitment to the governor’s office. At a time when Donald Trump is waging unprecedented attacks on our community, we know that Congresswoman Sherrill will fight for us, ensuring that Black and Latino students have access to a quality education, expanding economic opportunities for our community, and protecting the constitutional rights of every single New Jersey resident.”
LAN’s endorsement comes even as Ciattarelli has signed onto the most extreme aspects of Trump’s agenda, including immigration raids of schools and an end to birthright citizenship. He has also pushed to privatize New Jersey’s public schools by introducing vouchers, even as LAN and other civil rights groups have fought to increase investments in public education so that it better serves all New Jersey students, regardless of their race or ZIP code.
By contrast, Sherriill has pledged to expand educational and economic opportunities for the state’s growing Latino community.
“I am deeply honored to earn the endorsement of the Latino Action Network, and I look forward to working together to ensure that Trenton is delivering for Latino families across New Jersey,” Congresswoman Sherrill said. “As governor, I will fight for the investments our communities deserve. I’ll ensure minority-owned businesses receive their fair share of state contracts, make it easier to start and grow a small business, and fully fund our schools so every kid, regardless of what language they speak or what ZIP code they are in, has access to a high-quality public school education. While Jack Ciattarelli is running a campaign to impose Trump’s extreme MAGA agenda that will raise costs and cause chaos across our state, my promise to you is this: I will take on anyone, from Trump and special interests to my own party, to deliver and stand with all Latino communities in New Jersey.”
