The New Jersey gubernatorial race between Democrat Mikie Sherrill and Republican Jack Ciattarelli is highly competitive. Recent polls show fluctuating results, with one indicating a tie and another giving Sherrill a significant lead, suggesting an unpredictable election outcome.
Sherrill’s campaign has faced scrutiny over her past involvement in a 1994 Naval Academy cheating scandal. She was barred from her graduation ceremony for refusing to report classmates involved in the widespread incident.
A significant controversy emerged when Sherrill’s unredacted military records were mistakenly released to an ally of Ciattarelli. Sherrill has accused the Trump administration and her opponent’s campaign of a political attack, prompting a National Archives investigation.
