Oops… it gets deeper for Mikie. Her husband was also in trouble. Plus, she lied about WHY she didn’t walk at graduation: Folks in the know are throwing a BS flag at Mikie Sherrill for her claim that she was prevented from attending the ceremonies because she wouldn’t rat out her friends. > ._..“_ _ **Nobody, including Mikie Sherrill, was barred from graduation ceremonies for covering for their friends** _,” claimed this person, who has reviewed the documents. “That’s a bunch of bulls—. _ **Midshipmen were, however, punished for lying to Naval investigators** _.” Yeah. I guess she and now investment banker Jason Hedberg met each other at Annapolis. And what is coming out about Sherrill in this report on her husband’s trial and scandal tribulations makes her look so much sketchier, I don’t know how she survives this unless Ciattarelli has an aunt buried in his basement. Hedberg was also ‘caught up’ [in the massive cheating scandal](https://www.union-bulletin.com/news/national/5-things-to-know-about-the-naval-academy-cheating-scandal-from-the-1990s/article_349925fe-72f5-5510-8c17-7f96a144fd98.html) that erupted around a master copy of an exam that had been seen by what appears to have been a majority of the class before it was given. Anyway, let’s dig into this New York Post report. Hedberg and [a couple of dozen others sued the government](https://nypost.com/2025/09/26/us-news/mikie-sherrills-husband-also-ensnared-in-massive-naval-academy-cheating-scandal/) to block an Honor Board inquiry. Unlike his now wife, for whatever reason, Hedberg was allowed to graduate with his class. > **[Oh, Holy Smokes - Jersey Mikie's Husband Part of Annapolis Cheating Scandal](https://hotair.com/tree-hugging-sister/2025/09/26/oh-holy-smokes-jersey-mikies-husband-part-of-annapolis-cheating-scandal-n3807241)** > > Mikie Sherrill's husband caught in Annapolis cheating scandal, impacting her campaign. ---

## Looks like Shirrell is on the CCP payroll. Report: Rep. Sherrill Took Thousands From CCP-Linked Exec Rep. Mikie Sherrill, D-N.J., who is running for New Jersey governor in this year’s race, is facing new scrutiny over major campaign contributions from a Chinese business leader with purported ties to the Chinese Communist Party, the Washington Examiner reported Monday. According to the Examiner, Pin Ni, president of Wanxiang America, an arm of Chinese auto parts conglomerate Wanxiang Group, gave roughly $45,000 in combined donations benefiting Sherrill’s political career. The outlet said Ni personally wrote a $30,000 check last February to One Giant Leap PAC, which backs Sherrill’s gubernatorial bid, and previously contributed about $14,500 to her congressional campaign committee between 2022 and 2024.

I dunno. I am pretty discouraged by the lack of good ads for Jack. The main betting site has MS in a solid lead. I know a lot can change in a short time but time is running short. Anyone else have some good news to report? ---

Good question. Jack did gain a couple points on Polymarket since yesterday. I didn’t check it for the last NJ gov election so not sure. It seemed pretty accurate for the presidential election though. ---

Given some of Murphy’s ties with China during his time at the Hong Kong office at Goldman Sachs, it makes her qualified to be Governor at least 😅 ---

### Cracks in the Blue Wall: Sherrill’s Lead Narrows in New Jersey ![rs=w_1280](https://njgunforums.net/uploads/default/original/2X/5/5252707bba5f8678a51692f2e8e1d0819421db14.webp) **Topline Breakdown** **Sherrill:** 48.1% **Ciattarelli:** 45.8% **Other:** 1.6% **Undecided:** 4.5% This is movement more so than drift. And it’s happening in a state where Democrats typically have the structural upper hand. **Party ID** - **Democrats** : Sherrill **86%** , Ciattarelli **9%** → Sherrill holds base - **Republicans** : Ciattarelli **85%** , Sherrill **8%** → Base locked - **Independents** : Ciattarelli **51%** , Sherrill **38%** → **Ciattarelli +13** This is critical: **Ciattarelli now leads independents by 13 points**. That’s where the shift is coming from. That alone can flip a race under a certain turnout environment. > **[Cracks in the Blue Wall: Sherrill’s Lead Narrows in New Jersey](https://quantusinsights.org/f/cracks-in-the-blue-wall-sherrill%E2%80%99s-lead-narrows-in-new-jersey)** > > Ciattarelli gains ground in New Jersey Governor's race in our late September poll. ---

Voter enthusiasm among dems is low, no fire, no vote. Does not mean they will vote for Ciaterelli. First she said she could not be n the grad ceremony because she wold not rat out a classmate. That might actually be admirable, if it were true. She walked back her story now to, she had the test, took the test, but was unaware it was a stolen test. I wish we had the BS meter from the old forum. It would go well here. In any case, her story keeps changing and I think old dog and blue dog dog dems have had it. Democrats are finally waking up to the reality that political parties are not sports teams you root for because your dad rooted for them and his father rooted for them. Elections have consequences. ---

> [@gleninjersey](#): > > i’ll believe it when it If nobody believes, it absolutely will not happen, in fact, it can not happen. The more doubt is cast, the more it becomes a self fulfilling prophecy. Have some faith, tell your friends to have some faith, and back it up by going to the polls and voting republican. NJ can absolutely go red if every single person in the state inclined to vote republican actually votes. I wonder how many elections were lost because conservatives and independents inclined to vote republican only believed they could not win and just made their own prediction come true by staying home.
