Democrat Mikie Sherrill to be sworn in as New Jersey’s 57th governor

New Governor Mikie Sherrill faces a $1.5 billion budget deficit and plans to freeze rising utility rates amid affordability challenges, with a budget due by February end.

  • Mikie Sherrill, a former Navy helicopter pilot and four-term congresswoman, is set to be sworn in as New Jersey's 57th governor on Tuesday.
  • Sherrill, who won by pinning blame for high costs on President Trump's tariffs, will declare a state of emergency and sign an executive order to freeze utility rate hikes on her first day.
  • Breaking from tradition, Sherrill will be sworn in at the New Jersey Performing Arts Center in Newark instead of in Trenton.
