The view from New Jersey...and Washington DC: Rep. Mikie Sherrill running for governor of NJ - Talking Feds



Harry talks to Congresswoman Mikie Sherrill, whose extensive experience includes a long stint in the Navy as a helicopter pilot and Russian policy officer, a stretch in the US Attorney’s office, and a current candidacy for New Jersey governor. Sherrill’s cross-cutting resume position her to discuss a series of worrisome maneuvers by the new administration, beginning with the party line budget vote and its immediate and grave implications for New Jersey.

The two also discuss the state of morale at the Department of Justice, the Administration’s abandonment of Ukraine and its global implications, and the role for state officials to play as counterweights to monolithic Republican federal power. Sherrill also addresses at length the performance of the Democrats in Congress and what more they need to do. - 03/13/2025.

The Republican candidates - the last primary debate topic was about which one loves Trump the best.


She is my representative. There is nothing to say against her but she has done nothing to inspire leadership. No town halls or "Franked" updates to constituents.
