NJ-11: Grayzel (D) will run for Congress if Sherrill wins governor's race
Morris Township Deputy Mayor Jeff Grayzel will seek the Democratic nomination for Congress in New Jersey’s 11th district if Mikie Sherrill (D-Montclair) is elected governor.
“I am 100% in the race,” Grayzel told the New Jersey Globe. “My full intention is to run for the seat should Mikie win the election, as many believe she will. The timeline for a special election in early 2026 is already very short, and planning for this kind of race takes time. Thus, I am taking the appropriate steps to explore a run, including starting to assemble a team.”
Grayzel, who has served twice as a mayor, announced in February that he was mulling a congressional run if Sherrill was not in the race.
“With so much at stake for our nation, I am now taking the appropriate steps to explore representing our community in Washington,” said Grayzel. “I am confident that my record of community service, leadership, and common-sense solutions has equipped me with the experience and temperament needed to fight right-wing extremism in Washington.”
