Mikie Sherrill endorses 13 veteran candidates for midterm elections to build national political influence

New Jersey Governor Mikie Sherrill has launched her first major national political move by endorsing 13 Democratic candidates with military or national security backgrounds for the upcoming midterm elections. Through her Mission to Deliver PAC, Sherrill—a former Navy helicopter pilot and Naval Academy graduate—is backing a slate of veterans running in competitive House and Senate races across the country. Sherrill highlighted the candidates' commitment to the U.S. Constitution and contrasted their military service with that of Donald Trump. She criticized Donald Trump for launching a military campaign against Iran, arguing that he sent troops into a conflict he could not resolve while prioritizing personal interests. The endorsements include Massachusetts Rep. Seth Moulton, Rep. Don Davis, and Rep. Maggie Goodlander, among others. By backing these veterans, Sherrill aims to establish a national political infrastructure to influence the Democratic Party's direction ahead of the 2028 presidential election.
