WASHINGTON D.C. – Today, Senator Andy Kim (D-NJ) released the following statement on Congresswoman Mikie Sherrill becoming Governor-elect of New Jersey.

“New Jersey is at a crossroads, and our neighbors are facing a lot of questions about their future. Will our state be one where people can afford to raise a family? Will our state be one where the rules only benefit the well-off and well-connected? Will it be one where parents can care for their children, and where grown children can care for aging parents? Will it be one where people with ideas and ambition can start a business and grow jobs? Will it be one where the innovations and inventions of the future are crafted? And will it be one where rights and freedoms are protected?

“I’m proud to have a partner in Governor-elect Sherrill in answering those questions that will shape the future of our state. Together, and working with Senator Booker, our House colleagues and officials across New Jersey, I believe we can make our state more affordable, I believe we can make it more transparent, and I believe we can make it a hub for opportunity and innovation.

“This is our moment to bring change and progress to the Garden State. I look forward to working with Governor-elect Sherrill in the coming years to deliver it.”
