As New Jersey prepares to head to the polls on November 4, I find myself not only reporting this story but living its meaning. Having covered Congresswoman Mikie Sherrill and Dr. Dale Caldwell for quite some time, I’ve seen up close their humility, generosity, and sincere understanding of what New Jersey families endure every day.
Every time I meet Mikie, I am greeted with a warm hug — a small gesture, yet one that reflects her authenticity and kindness. Those moments remind me why public service, when rooted in compassion, can restore faith in leadership. I even have photos of her embracing me, and each one tells a story of human connection beyond politics.
For those of us facing homelessness or hardship, her message of affordability, fairness, and opportunity speaks directly to our struggles. Being homeless hurts — not just physically, but emotionally. Many of us have relied on the kindness of friends or family while waiting for a system that truly works for everyone.

I sincerely hope that if she wins, Governor Sherrill will remember the people who stood by her — those who have believed in her compassion and her promise of change. This election is about more than politics; it is about dignity, stability, and hope for every New Jerseyan.
So, to all voters: please come out and vote. Let your voice count for fairness, opportunity, and a better tomorrow — for all.
