NJ-11: Election to succeed Gov.-elect Mikie Sherrill in Congress will be April 16 [View all]
The special election for Gov.-elect Mikie Sherrill’s vacant seat in the House will take place April 16, the governor announced Friday.
Gov. Phil Murphy (D) issued a writ of election to fill Sherrill’s House vacancy after her resignation from Congress went into effect at 11:59 p.m. Thursday. Sherrill (D) becomes governor on Jan. 20.
Murphy directed that a special primary election be held on Thursday, Feb. 5. The deadline for primary candidates to file nominating petitions is Monday, Dec. 1, at 4 p.m.
The race to succeed Sherrill in the House is already a crowded one. At least 10 Democrats and one Republican have already announced campaigns, including Essex County Commissioner Brendan Gill, former Rep. Tom Malinowski, and Lt. Gov. Tahesha Way.
