Endorsements for Mikie Sherrill & 36 Female Assembly Candidates

Trenton, NJ — The Women’s Political Caucus of New Jersey (WPCNJ) proudly announces its endorsements for the 2025 election cycle, recognizing a slate of 36 female candidates who embody the values and mission of the organization, as well as Mikie Sherrill for governor. Each of these leaders are united in their commitment to protecting reproductive freedom, strengthening women’s voices in government, and advancing equality.

“At a time when access to reproductive care is under attack nationwide, these women are stepping up to lead, legislate, and fight for critical policies”, said Shari Weiner, Political Resource Chair. “We are thrilled to support these candidates as they seek to represent their communities and bring diverse voices to Trenton.”

By endorsing women who champion reproductive rights, WPCNJ continues its work to elevate women’s voices in every level of government.
