DescriptionCNN) — Sen. John McCain will get an endorsement Monday afternoon in New Jersey from a Democrat-turned-Independent, Linden Mayor Richard Gerbounka, according to two Republican sources.

McCain advisers are eager to tout the endorsement as the Senator continues to try and show he has crossover appeal as a "maverick," though Gerbounka is clearly not a household name.

Gerbounka, whom Mc Cain advisers describe as a lifelong former Democrat, was elected in 2006 as an Independent. His move to back McCain comes as the Senator ramps up efforts to appeal to independent voters.
