Reproductive Freedom for All Congratulates Mikie Sherrill on Another Decisive Debate Victory Leading Up to the New Jersey Gubernatorial Race

Washington, DC —  Reproductive Freedom for All congratulates Congresswoman Mikie Sherrill for once again establishing herself as the clear victor in tonight’s New Jersey Gubernatorial debate. During the debate, Sherrill called out her opponent, Jack Ciatrelli, for repeatedly voting to defund Planned Parenthood.

Reproductive Freedom for All President and CEO Mini Timmaraju released the following statement:

“On the debate stage, Mikie Sherrill has once again emerged as a clear champion for the people of New Jersey. Sherrill made a clear contrast between her opponent’s anti-abortion record, including voting to defund Planned Parenthood and spewing baseless claims about access to care. Jack Ciatrelli cannot be trusted to stand up to the Trump administration and protect access to care.”

In August, Reproductive Freedom for All endorsed the Congresswoman, because Democratic governors are a key backstop to threats on all levels and are stepping up to defend our fundamental rights and freedoms.

Sherrill’s opponent, Jack Ciattarelli, has an extreme anti-abortion record, including advocating for strict abortion bans, voting to defund Planned Parenthood, refusing to support the Reproductive Freedom Act, praising the Supreme Court appointees that overturned Roe v. Wade and committing to appoint conservatives justices to the State Supreme Court if elected.
