Representative Mikie Sherrill

We’ve seen the dangerous impact of defunding Planned Parenthood before in New Jersey, and Rep Pallone and I will continue to fight for the patients who walk through those doors.

Donald Trump and House Republicans are attacking Planned Parenthood, stripping access to reproductive health care from millions of American families.

My statement on the widespread famine in Gaza and the deepening humanitarian crisis.

Cadet Edara personified service, as a Boy Scout, an EMT, and a member of the Rutgers Army ROTC battalion.

He was an incredible young man and he will be deeply missed.

My thoughts are with the family and friends of Cadet Neil Edara, an Army ROTC student from Ridgewood, New Jersey, who tragically lost his life while training at Ft. Knox.

A Clash Over a Promotion Puts Hegseth at Odds With His Generals

This is a disgrace. A combat-tested general is being pushed out for doing his job because he didn’t pass some Trump loyalty test.

Hegseth is running the Pentagon like it’s Fox News. It’s reckless, and it’s putting our country at risk.

Today we celebrate one of the best days in American history - the day New Jersey became the third state to join the union.

Happy New Jersey Day to everyone across the Garden State. I hope your day is full of taylor ham (or pork roll), delicious pizza, and the best bagels.

With support from nearly the entire NJ delegation — I’m leading the effort to defend the dedicated men and women of Picatinny and their critical role in our national security from cuts.

I led a bipartisan push to stop the Pentagon’s dangerous proposal that threatens Picatinny Arsenal, a cornerstone of U.S. ammo readiness.

For too long, women have been underrepresented in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM) positions in our Armed Forces. This week, I introduced a NDAA amendment to break down barriers and expand opportunities for women in STEM.

Our service members put their lives on the line for our country, yet too often when they return to civilian life, they struggle to find career opportunities. I introduced an amendment to expand apprenticeship programs for these service members to help them find a path for their future.

The CDC has found that 4 out of 5 pregnancy-related deaths are preventable and hypertensive disorders are a common pregnancy complication. That’s why I introduced an amendment to establish a pilot program to catch these conditions earlier and improve maternal health outcomes.

Our country is facing a maternal mortality crisis, and it hits women of color especially hard.

We ask our servicewomen to put their lives on the line to serve our country.

They should NEVER have to risk their lives giving birth.

That's why I introduced an amendment to restore full reproductive freedom for every member of the armed forces no matter where they are stationed.

Secretary Hegseth froze aid to Ukraine TWICE without Trump’s approval, delaying vital support for Ukranian troops fighting Vladimir Putin's invasion. His mismanagement is dangerous and disgraceful. Ukraine can’t afford more deadly pauses.

Today, I fought to pass an amendment that would require the Secretary to submit an explanation to Congress before firing any member of the Joint Chiefs.

A couple of months ago, I asked Pete Hegseth if he had fired General CQ Brown because he is Black, and fired Admiral Lisa Franchetti because she is a woman.

He didn't dispute it.

At Picatinny Arsenal, engineers, scientists, and support staff are building the future of our national defense

Cutting civil service jobs at Picatinny Arsenal is not just an attack on New Jersey workers, it’s an attack on our national security.

I'm deeply saddened to hear about the lives lost in last night's flash floods, and I am praying for the families impacted.

Thank you to all of the first responders who went into harm's way last night and are continuing to work to keep our communities safe.

Trump administration moves away from abolishing FEMA As Trump heads to Texas to see the impact of last week’s deadly flash floods, the White House has backed away from plans to abolish FEMA, officials said.

I'm glad Trump has reversed course, but it shouldn’t take a tragic natural disaster for this Administration to realize that eliminating FEMA is reckless and stupid.

We need competent leadership, especially during times of crisis.

Trump Withholds Nearly $7 Billion for Schools, With Little Explanation

After-school and summer-school programs keep students on track and are essential for supporting working families. Donald Trump’s decision to block this funding is a direct attack on families in New Jersey and across this country.

Flash flooding threat grows. Up to 6 inches of rain possible in some N.J. areas. Storms fueled by the remnants of Tropical Storm Chantal have led to a flood watch for 10 New Jersey counties on Monday.

We may see flash flooding and intense rainfall throughout parts of New Jersey this evening and into tonight.

Make sure to remain weather aware and stay safe this evening.

Washington Republicans are gutting food assistance for New Jerseyans.

Today, I voted no on the Republican Price Hike Bill.

My full statement:

They are slashing healthcare, taking food off the table, and jacking up utility bills while protecting billionaires and special interests. That’s not governing. That’s selling out New Jerseyans and the American people.

Under the cover of darkness and while most Americans slept, Donald Trump and Speaker Johnson cut a backroom deal to secure the votes for the Republican Price Hike Bill.

I urge my republican colleagues to stop doing what’s right for Trump, and start doing what’s right for American families.

I'll be voting NO on the Republican Price Hike Bill, and I encourage every member of the House to do the same.

Washington Republicans are raising your utility costs.
