NEWARK, N.J.—Hundreds of people lined up outside the Essex County College gymnasium in Newark on Nov. 1 to attend a campaign rally for New Jersey gubernatorial candidate Rep. Mikie Sherrill (D-N.J.).

Johnny Freeze was among those waiting to get a glimpse of Sherrill and former President Barack Obama, who headlined the event. The 52-year-old said the rally was a great opportunity to hear what Sherrill had to say. He and his son, Orion, traveled an hour from their hometown of Phillipsburg, New Jersey, to Newark.
