New Jersey has 'to be open' to mid-decade redistricting, Sherrill adviser says

NEW BRUNSWICK, New Jersey — Mid-decade redistricting is on the table in New Jersey, a top adviser to Democratic Gov.-elect Mikie Sherrill said on Tuesday. Just don’t expect it to happen before the midterms.

“I think we have to be open to it, right?” said Alex Ball, Sherrill’s campaign manager and incoming chief of staff, when asked about the prospect of mid-decade redistricting at POLITICO’s Transition of Power: What’s Next for New Jersey” event.

“If you look at what the Trump administration is doing, I think we have to take any threat of overreach, of our election system, on their part, seriously,” she added. “So, I think the governor-elect will look at all options available.”

Sherrill has previously said that she is open to mid-decade redistricting as other states push to redraw maps.
