Mikie Sherrill for Congress

Could Military Veterans Change More Than Control of Congress?

"To Democrats, part of the appeal of candidates with national-security experience is that it gives them additional credibility on issues, such as gun control, on which Republicans often portray their opponents as uninformed. Sherrill, when asked what she would do in her first year in Washington, gave a full-throated appeal for universal background checks. 'I qualified as an expert shot in the M16, the Colt .45, and the 9-millimeter Beretta when I was in the Navy. I continued to shoot at the U.S. Attorney’s office. I can tell you right now, there are weapons of war that I should not have [had to work so] hard to take off the streets of New Jersey.' It drew a round of applause, which is no easy feat when calling for stricter gun laws in a predominantly Republican district." Read More >>

These are the women who will decide the midterm elections

"For some people this is a reaction [to Trump], but for others it's a need for new leadership and support for more women in Congress," Sherrill said when asked about women voters deciding the election. "It's sort of a mixed bag in this district and a lot of swing districts." "I have expressed my concerns about his policies against women in about the strongest way you can express them, which is running for Congress," she said. "Me tweeting out constantly in the middle of the night about divisive things and ranting about Trump, I don't think it would move the agenda for the 11th district forward. I just don't think it's productive." Read More >>

It Is Time For the Young Adults of Chatham to be Heard

As for my vote, I have decided to support Mikie Sherrill as our next Congressional representative. I met Mikie in July of 2016, when she first began her Congressional campaign. She is a graduate of the Naval Academy and served our nation both as a Navy Pilot and as a former federal prosecutor. Mikie supports common sense gun control, is a believer and advocate of climate change, and cares strongly about veterans and our national security because of her background in the Navy. Most importantly, to me, is that she is a strong advocate of women's rights, something her opponent does not have the best track record of. This being said, you do not have to agree or vote in alignment with me. However, you do need to vote. Read More >>

In support of NJ District 11 Congressional Candidate Mikie Sherrill

I support Mikie Sherrill in her bid to represent NJ Congressional District 11. I have been particularly impressed by the way that she has conducted her campaign in positive way. I have attended three events at which Mikie has spoken to folks in an informal, personal manner. Mikie is not a career politician. Her ambition is to represent her constituents by fighting for what is important to them. I did not hear her once speak of her opponent in a disrespectful or partisan manner. Her dialogue was about specific issues that voters are concerned about and how her approach would differ from her opponent’s. Read More >>
