The Democrats who lost their party’s nomination for governor to Rep. Mikie Sherrill on Tuesday said they will fight to unite the party and keep the governorship in Democrats’ hands in November. Newark Mayor Ras Baraka told supporters at the Robert Treat Hotel in Newark that Democrats have to make sure Sherrill’s November opponent, Republican former Assemblyman Jack Ciattarelli, “does not win.” Initial results show Baraka coming in second place, about 100,000 votes behind Sherrill.

Newark Mayor @rasjbaraka spoke to a crowd of supporters and gubernatorial campaign staff earlier, saying tonight’s primary election wasn’t the “end” of their work. He called for a “broad-based coalition” to build a state that is affordable and protects immigrant/LGBTQ residents. https://t.co/v6PBVFRCQD
