New Jersey Governor Mikie Sherrill has never been shy about showcasing her solidarity with the state’s Muslim community. During Ramadan and the Eid al-Fitr celebrations that concluded in mid-March, she made sure the cameras were rolling.

The images circulated widely—governor in headscarf, breaking bread with local Muslim leaders, emphasizing inclusion and respect.
