NJ-GOV: Dark money group launches digital attack ad against Sherrill
A dark money group has launched digital ads critical of Rep. Mikie Sherrill (D-Montclair), the Democratic nominee for governor, in her home congressional district this weekend.
The ad, which is currently running on Google and YouTube, says Sherrill has worsened the state’s affordability with various votes in Congress. The ad, for example, claims Sherrill “voted to raise taxes on social security income and small businesses” with her vote against President Donald Trump’s One Big Beautiful Bill. (Democrats offered myriad reasons for voting against the bill; analysis shows hundreds of thousands in New Jersey could lose Medicaid or food stamps, while many will see their tax bills drop.)
It’s unclear who created and funded the advertisement.
Legally required disclosures on the advertisement show that the group behind the spot is the Winning Team Committee, a nebulous organization established this summer. The Winning Team Committee materialized suddenly. Its website was registered last Wednesday through the domain registrar GoDaddy, and its first ads started running on the Google network late Friday.
