Rep. Mikie Sherrill (D-N.J.), a freshman lawmaker who unseated a Republican incumbent in 2018, is backing former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg in the Democratic presidential race.

“I served in the Navy with members of our military community dedicated to making our country safer and stronger, and it’s clear we need the same level of commitment from our political leaders,” Sherrill said in a statement Thursday. “Mike Bloomberg embodies the integrity we need from leadership and I am proud to give my support to him today.”

The Navy veteran lauded Bloomberg’s work on gun reform, his commitment to invest in New Jersey’s infrastructure and his plans to help veterans.

“I’m confident he will move this country forward into a bright future,” Sherrill added.

Sherrill’s endorsement came one day before Bloomberg plans to deliver a speech on protecting veterans and military families in Norfolk, Va.
