By Adam Rizvi and Henna Khan, The India Observer, TIO: Once again, Mikie Sherrill is taking a bold stand for New Jersey’s future — this time against Donald Trump’s move to strip funding from the Gateway Tunnel Project, one of the most vital infrastructure undertakings in the nation. The Gateway Project, crucial to fixing New Jersey’s aging and overcrowded transit system, faces an uncertain future as Trump’s administration halts financial support.
While Mikie Sherrill vows to “fight tooth and nail” to ensure the project’s completion, her opponent Jack Ciattarelli remains conspicuously silent. Despite being fully aware of the project’s significance, Ciattarelli refuses to challenge Trump’s actions.
When asked who was responsible for the shutdown, Jack answered, “I don’t know enough about the details.”

In response, Mikie’s campaign was quick to point out the obvious: “News flash — it’s his boss, Donald Trump.”
Even more telling, when questioned about Trump’s decision to pause funding, Ciattarelli claimed, “It doesn’t stop what’s going on.” But observers — and commuters — know that cutting funding is the same as pulling the brakes on progress.
Throughout his campaign, Ciattarelli has shown unwavering allegiance to Trump. During a recent debate, he went so far as to promise that, if elected governor, he would never sue Trump on any issue. He has also admitted that his primary role as governor would be “to help Trump,” and to date, he has failed to name even one policy disagreement with him.

In sharp contrast, Mikie Sherrill, a Navy veteran and member of Congress, continues to fight for New Jersey families. “I’ll take on anyone — including my own party — to deliver results, fix our broken transit system, and complete the Gateway Tunnel,” she declared.
The Gateway Tunnel remains a lifeline for New Jersey’s economy, workforce, and commuters. As Trump’s cuts threaten to derail progress, Sherrill’s commitment stands as a defining contrast to Ciattarelli’s silence.
