Mikie Sherrill says she believes she has a mandate as New Jersey's governor-elect to fulfill campaign promises of making the state more affordable. And for now, the Democrat is dialing back on her criticism of Republican President Donald Trump. The congresswoman is getting to work setting up her new administration and she met with Democratic Gov. Phil Murphy on Wednesday as they discussed the transition. Sherrill says she's focused on affordability “because my communities are focused on affordability.” She's promised to use an executive order to freeze monthly electricity bills and wants to expand a program for first-time homebuyers.
