NJ-GOV, VA-GOV: Amid a Record Party Investment, Two Candidates for Governor Join Forces [View all]
The Democratic candidates for governor in New Jersey and Virginia are set to make a rare joint campaign appearance on Wednesday.
Representative Mikie Sherrill of New Jersey and former Representative Abigail Spanberger of Virginia will take part in a Zoom organizing rally on Wednesday afternoon put together by the Democratic National Committee. Appearing virtually so they do not have to leave their respective states in the final week of the election, the candidates will be joined by Democratic Party leaders, including Gov. Andy Beshear of Kentucky, Senator Amy Klobuchar of Minnesota and Ken Martin, the chairman of the D.N.C.
With one week left before the crucial 2025 elections, the D.N.C. is deploying the full weight of our organizing network to contact voters across Virginia and New Jersey, Mr. Martin said in a statement. The stakes couldnt be higher, and our organizing team is ready to meet the moment.
The Zoom call is meant to energize Democratic volunteers, but the event will also be streamed on YouTube for the public to view.
