A VICTORY FOR SHERRILL IS A DEFEAT FOR TRUMP
The People’s Organization For Progress (POP) has publicly announced its endorsement of Democratic candidate Congresswoman Mikie Sherrill, for governor in the November 4th general election.
“A victory for Sherrill is a defeat for Trump. A victory for Ciattarelli is a victory Trump,” Lawrence Hamm, Chairman, People’s Organization For Progress stated.
“President Trump endorsed and supported Ciattarelli during the primary and general election campaigns. Ciattarelli has stated repeatedly that he supports Trump,” Hamm said.
“Ciattarelli is not just the Republican candidate. He is Trump’s candidate, and the MAGA movement’s candidate in this race,” he said.
“Ciattarelli is Trump’s man in this contest. A vote for Jack Ciattarelli is a vote for Donald Trump. If Ciattarelli wins President Trump will be on television claiming the victory,” Hamm said.
“The racist, fascist, anti-democratic and imperialist policies of the Trump administration are hurting working people, the poor, middle class, black people, and other people of color who make up the majority of Americans.
“Trump is not only hurting the people. He is undermining democracy at every turn and trying to make himself a dictator. Asked how Trump was doing Ciattarelli said he would give him an ‘A.’
“Trump’s grip on our government must be broken. Trump must go. He must be removed from office either by way of the ballot box or whatever constitutional means are available.
“However, Trump does not want to go. He and his Republican based MAGA movement want to remain in power for as long as possible. They speak openly of giving Trump a third term as president when the constitution clearly states that a president can only serve two terms,” he said
Hamm said Trump and the MAGA Republicans have a strategy for staying in power, and winning New Jersey’s gubernatorial election is part of that strategy.
He said that there were only two gubernatorial races for governor this year, those in New Jersey and Virginia, and both races are a bellwether for the upcoming midterm elections.
If Republicans win either one or both of these elections it will give them needed momentum to hold on to their majorities in the 2026 House and Senate elections, and give them an advantage in the 2028 presidential election.
“A Ciattarelli victory for governor will make Trump and his MAGA Republicans stronger. A defeat will make them weaker,” he said.
“The People’s Organization For Progress has endorsed Congresswoman Mikie Sherrill for governor because we believe that among the candidates who have a chance of winning the race for governor that she is best choice,” Hamm stated.
“Our endorsement does not mean that we have agreed with Sherrill on every issue. However, between Mikie Sherrill and Jack Ciattarelli we believe Sherrill is the better choice and we urge people to vote for her. And we will work to hold her accountable if she is elected,” he said.
Polls show that the race for governor is very close. Democrats outnumber Republicans in the state. A Republican victory is possible if enough Democrats decide not to vote. New Jersey has had Republican governors before.
“We need a big voter turnout to win this election. Please do not sit this election out or take it for granted that Sherrill is going to win. Every vote counts. And a single vote could be the difference between victory and defeat. Cast your ballot and make your vote count.
“The People’s Organization For Progress urges every registered voter to cast their ballot in this election. Early voting began Saturday October 25 and will continue through Sunday, November 2. If you don’t vote early then make sure you vote on Election Day, November 4th,” he said.
