Democrat Mikie Sherrill has secured a major victory in New Jersey's gubernatorial election, defeating Republican Jack Ciattarelli in what became an increasingly competitive race.

Sherrill, a fourth-term U.S. Representative from northern New Jersey and former Navy helicopter pilot, fended off Ciattarelli's third attempt at the governorship after he narrowly lost to incumbent Democratic Gov. Phil Murphy in 2021.

The Associated Press called the race at 9:23 p.m. ET.

With Murphy term-limited and unable to seek reelection, Democrats were challenged in retaining the position for a third consecutive term—something the state hadn't accomplished since 1961.

"This is what we're fighting for in this country—to make sure that we have a president who has to follow the law," Sherrill stated during her campaign, positioning herself as a counterweight to Trump administration policies.

The race <a href="https://www.ntd.com/as-polls-tighten-republicans-say-momentum-is-with-them-in-new-jersey-governor-race_1105737.html">tightened</a> considerably in recent weeks, with some polling indicating a toss-up between the two candidates. According to various pre-election surveys, the contest remained razor-thin. AtlasIntel's Oct. 25 to 30 poll showed Sherrill ahead by just one percentage point, while Emerson College's same-period survey of 1,000 voters also found her leading by a single point. However, Suffolk University's Oct. 26 to 29 survey placed Sherrill four percentage points in front.

As a 1994 U.S. Naval Academy graduate, Sherrill spent nearly a decade on active duty as a Sea King Helicopter pilot, leading missions throughout Europe and the Middle East. She later attended law school and worked as a federal prosecutor in New Jersey before first running for Congress in 2018.

Sherrill is the second female governor in state history, joining Christine Todd Whitman, who served from 1994 to 2001.

The 53-year-old congresswoman built her campaign around pushing back against the Trump administration's policies while speaking on economic relief for struggling families. She proposed declaring a state of emergency to freeze electrical utility rate hikes and focused on the state's affordability crisis—a concern that resonated with voters grappling with among the nation's highest property tax rates.

Ciattarelli, 63, entered the race as a seasoned political opponent hoping for better fortune than his 2021 campaign. The Raritan native described himself as a "Jersey guy" whose family has been in the state since 1900.

A certified public accountant and medical journal publisher, Ciattarelli had founded two successful Main Street businesses and served at every level of government, including the Raritan Borough Council, Somerset County Freeholder Board, and the state legislature, voluntarily term-limiting himself in each position.

In his 2021 gubernatorial campaign, Ciattarelli came within a few points of defeating Murphy and energized the state Republican Party, which achieved its best Election Day performance in 30 years.

This cycle, he cast the election as an opportunity to oust Democrats who have controlled both the governor's office and state legislature for nearly eight years. He touted his background as a business owner with deep roots in the state.

"Make no mistake. We cannot afford another four years of Phil Murphy's failed policies," Ciattarelli said during campaign rallies.

The race attracted national attention and large financial backing. By early October, the 2025 New Jersey governor's race had become the most expensive in state history, with more than $145 million spent, according to the New Jersey Election Law Enforcement Commission.

Ciattarelli had raised more than $16.5 million while Sherrill raised more than $17.5 million, though the bulk of campaign spending—around $85 million of the total $145 million—came from independent expenditure committees, political action committees, nonprofits, and industry groups.

Sherrill was boosted by former President Barack Obama, New Jersey's two Democratic U.S. Senators, Andy Kim and Cory Booker, Democratic governors from Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Maryland, and former U.S. Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg.

Ciattarelli received endorsements from Fox News host Sean Hannity, 2024 GOP primary candidate Vivek Ramaswamy, and President Donald Trump, who called into campaign rallies and endorsed him on social media.

Election Day began with disruptions when seven counties received emailed bomb threats at polling stations, later determined by law enforcement to be unfounded, according to Lt. Gov. Tahesha Way.

Some polling locations reopened quickly, while voters at others were directed to nearby sites. A judge ruled that some polling places in Passaic County could stay open an hour later, until 9 p.m.

Sherrill condemned the threats as voter suppression. "Obviously, this is an attempt to suppress the vote here, and I don't think New Jerseyans take very kindly to that kind of tampering in our election system," she said.
