US Representative Mikie Sherrill, Democratic governor-elect for New Jersey and Lieutenant governor-elect Dale Caldwell celebrate their victory in today’s election<\/p>\n
In her victory speech just now, New Jersey’s governor-elect Mikie Sherill also thanks those who joined her what she called the “fight for a better future”.<\/p>\n
“I know these are tough times. I know not everyone voted for me, but I’m working for everyone. Every. Single. One. Of. You. When we all do better, we all do better,” she says. <\/p>\n
She also brings in imagery of the Statue of Liberty and the reminder of her promise: “Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free.”<\/p>\n
“She declares that her lamp lights the path to the golden door. That golden door is New Jersey. It always has been, and that expectation is well deserved, especially after this election where we chose we’re going to follow Lady Liberty speaking,” she says. <\/p>\n
“We’re not going to give in to our darker impulses here in New Jersey, we know that this nation has not ever been, nor will it ever be, ruled by kings. We take oaths to a constitution, not a king. <\/p>\n
Again citing New Jersey’s state motto, she notes that the electorate has chosen liberty, calling it “the very foundation of democracy” and prosperity, which is “necessary to create opportunity for all”.<\/p>\n
Sherill also quotes New Jersey native Bruce Springsteen in her speech. <\/p>\n
“So New Jersey, to quote the Boss, the future is now. Roll up your sleeves. Let your passion flow. The country we carry in our hearts is waiting,” she concludes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Sherill references Lady Liberty and Springsteen in victory speechpublished at 03:31 GMT 03:31 GMT Image source, ReutersImage caption,…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":256491,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[4,450,451,3,452,453],"class_list":{"0":"post-272274","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-breaking-news","8":"tag-breaking-news","9":"tag-breakingnews","10":"tag-headlines","11":"tag-news","12":"tag-top-stories","13":"tag-topstories"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/272274","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=272274"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/272274\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/256491"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=272274"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=272274"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=272274"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
