Mikie Sherrill for Congress

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.

Young People Need to Vote and Vote Blue: Support Dempsey, Mathiasen and Sherrill

I am also supporting Mikie Sherrill for Congress. What a contrast we have in this race! Her opponent, State Assemblyman Jay Webber, voted against equal pay for women, doesn’t support Planned Parenthood, or want common-sense gun laws. He also refused to vote for a prohibition on the practice of conversion therapy for LGBTQ youth in NJ. Young people need to vote to reject these backwards views and show that they have no place in our country. Sherrill supports universal criminal background checks for firearm purchases and a federal ban on assault weapons. These are common-sense gun laws for the safety of our communities. Sherrill would fight against restricting women’s access to family planning services. She knows that NJ women make 82 cents for every man’s dollar doing the same job, and that this is not right. Sherrill believes in man-made impact on climate change and wants to address it. Climate change could become a major problem in our lives in as little as 12 years. I will only be 34 years old. We may be dealing with and suffering the consequences of climate change for the majority of our lives! Read More >>
