ENDORSED
BY GIFFORDS
Throughout her life, Representative Mikie Sherrill has always put service to her country and community first. In each role she’s held, she has fought to better understand the complexities of gun violence and worked to make our communities safer. In the US Navy she qualified as an expert shot, and as an assistant US attorney in New Jersey, she witnessed the devastating impact illegal weapons have had on her state’s communities and recognized the need to reform America’s gun laws. Never one to sit on the sidelines, she stepped up to make those changes a reality by running for Congress and flipping a red district blue in 2018—and in her four subsequent terms in the US House, Representative Sherrill has striven to build a safer future for all.
In office, Representative Sherrill has pushed for commonsense gun safety measures while also protecting the Second Amendment rights of responsible gun owners. The first bill she ever cosponsored was a measure to extend background checks to all gun sales, and she proudly helped pass that legislation through the House in both 2019 and 2021. Throughout her time in Washington DC, Representative Sherrill has also voted to ban bump stocks, incentivize the safe storage of firearms, secure desperately needed federal funding for research into the root causes of gun violence, disarm domestic abusers, and fund lifesaving community violence intervention programs. In 2022, Representative Sherrill also played a crucial role in helping to pass the landmark Bipartisan Safer Communities Act, the first major gun safety bill to be signed into law in nearly 30 years.
Representative Sherrill understands that preventing gun violence requires coordination from national, state, and local governments alongside our communities and law enforcement. Now, she’s stepping up to serve her community once again—this time by running to be the next governor of the Garden State. Now more than ever, we need Representative Mikie Sherrill’s bold, sensible approach to getting things done in Trenton. With her leading the charge to fight crime and uphold and expand New Jersey’s gun laws—which rank among the best in the nation—we know a brighter future free from gun violence is within reach for all those who call New Jersey home.
