NJ-GOV: Christie Whitman (R) endorses Mikie Sherrill (D), report says
Former Republican Gov. Christine Todd Whitman has endorsed Democrat Mikie Sherrill for governor, the Philadelphia Inquirer has reported.
Whitman told the Inquirer that “it would be really nice to have another woman.”
“She’s the right person for the job,” Whitman told The Inquirer. “I’ve met with her. She knows how to organize. She knows how to manage and to lead.”
When she ousted Democratic Gov. Jim Florio in 1993, Whitman became the state’s first woman governor. Two other women have won gubernatorial primaries but lost general elections: Democrat Barbara Buono in 2013 and Kim Guadagno in 2017. Whitman backed Gov. Chris Christie against Buono and Guadagno against Democrat Phil Murphy.
