NJ-11: Malinowski would 'of course' be interested in NJ-11 campaign if Sherrill is elected governor
If Rep. Mikie Sherrill (D-Montclair) wins this year’s race for governor, could former Rep. Tom Malinowski (D-Ringoes), who represented a neighboring district for four years, make the leap into her seat? For the first time, Malinowski is publicly saying he’s considering it.
Malinowski, now the chairman of the Hunterdon County Democrats, told the New Jersey Globe today that while he’s focused for now on making sure Sherrill is indeed elected governor, he’d be interested in running for the 11th district in a special election to succeed her.
“My priority for the next few months, and that of every Democrat, must be to help Mikie Sherrill our next governor, and to make sure Trump doesn’t get a win in New Jersey this November,” Malinowski said. “Once that’s done, my response to everyone who has been reaching out is that of course I would be interested in running to fill the vacancy in the 11th district, so that it continues to have the strongest and most experienced representation at this difficult moment for our country.”
“But let’s focus on electing Mikie first,” he added.
