Sherrill Slams Republican Government Shutdown

WASHINGTON, DC — Representative Mikie Sherrill (NJ-11) released the following statement after Donald Trump and Washington Republicans sent the federal government into a total shutdown:

“Washington Republicans have once again shown they’re willing to turn their backs on the American people in order to blindly follow Donald Trump’s demands. Instead of working with Democrats to lower costs, protect health care, and support working people, Washington Republicans bent the knee to Donald Trump, shutting down the government in the process.

“New Jersey families and the American people deserve far better. Washington Republicans must come to the table immediately to find a bipartisan consensus on a plan that reopens the government, keeps costs from rising even higher, and extends critical healthcare tax credits that working families rely on.”
