Newark – The SEIU New Jersey State Council—representing thousands of nursing home workers, municipal service workers, motor vehicle inspection workers, resident physicians, and employees in the laundry, food service, and distribution industries—officially endorses Mikie Sherrill in the 2025 race for Governor of New Jersey.
“New Jersey’s working families deserve a Governor who will champion justice, opportunity, and the dignity of every person,” said Megan Chambers, President of the SEIU NJ State Council and Co-Manager of the LDFS Joint Board, Workers United SEIU. “In Mikie Sherrill, we see a leader with a clear vision for protecting our civil liberties, defending our democracy, and ensuring immigrant communities are treated with humanity and respect.

“The SEIU NJ State Council believes Mikie Sherrill is the leader New Jersey can count on to fight for democracy, preserve civility, and strengthen the voice of working people. We are proud to support her in this important gubernatorial campaign,” concluded Ms. Chambers.
