By Adam Rizvi, The India Observer, TIO: BLOOMFIELD, N.J. — With just weeks to go before Election Day, Democratic gubernatorial candidate Rep. Mikie Sherrill is blanketing New Jersey with an aggressive, statewide ground game that her campaign says is unmatched by her Republican opponent, Jack Ciattarelli.

On Saturday, Sherrill rallied with hundreds of voters in Newark, urging residents to cast their ballots early and build momentum for November. Her campaign says it has already reached millions of New Jerseyans and continues to expand daily.

The Contrast with Ciattarelli

While Sherrill builds the largest grassroots coalition in the race, Ciattarelli has faced criticism for leaning on national Republican figures and refusing to engage directly with some communities. Sherrill’s campaign argues that the energy on the ground is proof her coalition is stronger, broader, and ready to deliver on Election Day.
