Sherrill vows voter protections as DOJ monitors | JQJO

Democratic New Jersey gubernatorial candidate Mikie Sherrill vowed to prevent voter intimidation after the Justice Department said it will send federal election watchers to New Jersey and California, following Republican requests. With Gov. Phil Murphy leaving office, Sherrill and her campaign said elections must be secure, transparent, and free from intimidation, and pledged swift prosecutions of violations. The DOJ said it will monitor six jurisdictions ahead of the Nov. 4, 2025 election; Attorney General Pamela Bondi called transparency essential as the Civil Rights Division deploys staff to ensure compliance.
