Polls have closed in New Jersey’s Democratic primary to select a candidate for the special election to fill the U.S. House seat vacated by Mikie Sherrill. The primary featured multiple candidates, including former U.S. Representative Tom Malinowski and Brendan [last name not provided].
The winner of the primary will advance to the special election scheduled for Thursday, competing to represent the district in Congress.
**Why this matters**
This election determines who will fill the congressional seat left open after Mikie Sherrill won the governorship. The outcome will influence the Democratic Party’s representation in the House and could impact legislative priorities for the district.
