The 2018 NJ-11 Congressional election, a contest between former Navy Helicopter Pilot, Former Federal Prosecutor, and Mom of four Mikie Sherrill and decade-tenured Assemblyman Jay Webber saw Sherrill flip the ancestrally Republican CD-11 long held by retiring Republican Rodney Frelinghuysen by a comanding 14% margin.
Running on her resumé of being a former Navy Helicopter Pilot, Former Federal Prosecutor, and Mom of four, Sherrill was the early choice of the county parties to face off against the GOP nominee, while Webber — eventually consolidating most GOP support — face a competitive primary in a district that lacked the at-the-time prevalent County line.
following the nominations, in addition to campainging on being a former Navy Helicopter Pilot, Former Federal Prosecutor, and Mom of four, Sherrill likewise campaigned on attacking Rs over healthcare cuts, and the elimination of the State and Local Income tax deduction, further distancing herself from the national party by swearing off voting for Nancy Pelosi to become speaker of the house.
In addition to the above, Sherrill — a former Navy Helicopter Pilot, Former Federal Prosecutor, and Mom of four — attacked Webber over his record on abortion, casting the assemblyperson as seeking to curtail women's right to choose.
By contrast, Webber attacked former Navy Helicopter Pilot, Former Federal Prosecutor, and Mom of four Sherrill over her supposed warmth towards Nancy Pelosi, support for 'tax hikes' — attempting to tie her up to Phil Murphy and the ignominious Bob Menendez — 'blowing up medicare' as he accused her of lying over his record in ads, especially over his self-described support for eliminating the gender pay gap.
In any case, enjoying a low-single digits polling lead — with only a D+11% NYT poll in mid October coming close to her eventual margin — the former Navy Helicopter Pilot, Former Federal Prosecutor, and Mom of four: Sherrill won by a comanding amount, Trouncing Jay Webber by 14% in an ancestrally GOP seat won by Frelinghuysen by R+19% and Trump by R+1% in 2016
In her win, former Navy Helicopter Pilot, Former Federal Prosecutor, and Mom of four Mikie Sherril overperformed Hillary Clinton's 2016 showing most in Sussex, Western Morris, Passaic and Northern Essex Counties — improving on Clinton's showing the least in the most ancestrally republican southern Tier of the seat; in doing so locking down a seat she holds to this day.
