Following U.S. Rep. Rodney Frelinghuysen’s (R-11) announcement that he will retire at the end of this year from the U.S. House of Representatives, Democratic candidate for New Jersey’s 11th Congressional District Mikie Sherrill released the following statement:

“While Congressman Rodney Frelinghuysen and I did not agree on many issues, as a fellow veteran I deeply respect his service to our country and to this community.  From serving in Vietnam, to the New Jersey legislature, to the U.S. House of Representatives, Congressman Frelinghuysen dedicated himself to protecting this country.”
