Press Release: Congresswoman Mikie Sherrill Releases Second Campaign Ad Focused on Coming Together During Pandemic

West Caldwell, NJ—Congresswoman Mikie Sherrill announced today the release of her second ad of the 2020 election cycle entitled “Mission.” Sherrill highlights the importance of coming together during the pandemic and her work to support New Jersey hospitals, small businesses, and affordable healthcare.

“When I was a Navy helicopter commander, we never chose our missions, but it was always our job to get them done. New Jersey has been hit so hard by this global pandemic. I fought hard to get more funding to New Jersey hospitals. I’m also working to make sure our businesses can stay in business and to make sure people can afford their healthcare. We all share a mission right now and we all have to do our part,” Congresswoman Sherrill says in the ad.

Throughout the pandemic, Sherrill has worked tirelessly to get PPE to our essential workers and funding to our hospitals as well as funding for local school districts to stabilize public education and save jobs by voting for both the HEROES Act and CARES Act. She was instrumental in passing the Child Care is Essential Act and the Child Care for Economic Recovery Act, in the House, which provides grant funding to child care providers to stabilize the child care sector, helps them safely reopen, and offers tax credit support for childcare providers, low- and middle-income families. Congresswoman Sherrill is leading the bipartisan SMART Act with Representative Peter King (R-NY) in the House and Senators Bob Menendez (D-NJ) and Bill Cassidy (R-LA) in the Senate to provide $500 billion in direct funding for state, county, and local governments.
