And after this election, we know people are more divided than ever on how to move forward.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>The video struck a patriotic tone, showing fireworks, the flag, and touted Sherrill&rsquo;s military service as a Navy helicopter pilot.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<div class=\"youtube-embed\" data-video_id=\"Z1sQXEu5tkE\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Build Something\" width=\"696\" height=\"392\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Z1sQXEu5tkE?feature=oembed&amp;enablejsapi=1\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p>Sherrill praised the state&rsquo;s accomplishments and hinted toward her goals if she becomes governor. &ldquo;Let&rsquo;s be the state that builds more housing.

Let&rsquo;s make life more affordable for hard-working New Jerseyans, from healthcare to groceries to childcare,&rdquo; she said.<\/p>\n<p>Like Gottheimer, she mentioned fighting President-elect Donald Trump&rsquo;s presidency. Several state governors have laid out or set in motion plans to push back against Trump&rsquo;s policies.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;We can also be the state that sets the gold standard for protecting rights and freedoms, and we know they&rsquo;ll be under attack from Donald Trump&rsquo;s Washington,&rdquo; she said.<\/p>\n<p>Sherrill previously won reelection to her fourth term decisively, beating her Republican opponent by double-digits. She&rsquo;s known for dominating elections in the 11th Congressional District, a longtime Republican district prior to her election.<\/p>\n<p>Sherrill was also one of the first Democrats to call for President Joe Biden to step down from the presidential Democratic nomination. <\/p>\n<p>It&rsquo;s not just Sherrill and Gottheimer vying for the Democratic nomination in the state.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\"><strong><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Several prominent state Democrats, including Newark Mayor Ras Baraka, Jersey City Mayor Steven Fulop, and former New Jersey Senate President Stephen Sweeney, are jockeying for the role as well.<\/p>\n<p>If Sherrill makes it through the contested primary, she&rsquo;ll likely face 2021 Republican gubernatorial candidate Jack Ciattarelli.
