Mikie Sherrill has announced a 35-member bipartisan local government advisory group that will include Councilwoman Fozia Janjua to advise Sherrill on her transition to New Jersey governor.
The group is made up of state officials who will lend their expertise and perspective to Transition Action Teams that are expected to ensure local municipalities have a voice in the upcoming administration.
“I know that the best ideas come from working closely with local communities on the ground, and that’s why this advisory group is so important,” Sherrill said. “In Congress, I worked hand in hand with our local officials to deliver funding and federal resources for everything from flood mitigation to combatting auto thefts to building housing that working families can afford.
“I intend to have the same collaborative, mission-focused relationship in my administration,” she added, “and that starts with the transition as we put our agenda together to be ready to deliver on day one.”
Janjua was elected to council in 2020 and later served as the township’s first Muslim and South Asian mayor in 2024.
