Sherrill Slams Ciattarelli for Supporting Republican Price Hike Bill 

BLOOMFIELD — Mikie Sherrill today released the following statement after the U.S. Senate passed the Republican price hike bill:

“This bill, supported by Donald Trump and his lackey Jack Ciattarelli, will raise costs, kill jobs, and explode the deficit. More than 400,000 people here will lose their health insurance, our utility prices will skyrocket, and mortgage rates will increase. And to underscore the cruelty, they’re cutting food assistance for children to give tax cuts to billionaires and big oil. The bill even reinstates the Republicans’ punishing SALT cap, which was set to expire this year. It’s an unfair double-tax on New Jerseyans.

“Despite the horrific price increases, the vast majority of Senate Republicans lacked the courage to do the right thing and vote no. We see that same cowardice in Jack, who chooses Trump over New Jersey every time, and can’t name a single issue on which they disagree. Supporting a bill this devastating for New Jersey demonstrates incompetence and callousness at the highest level — a choice that proves he is both too partisan and too ill-informed to lead our state.

“I will be voting no on this bill and visiting and listening to New Jerseyans who will be hurt by this destructive Trump/Ciattarelli MAGA agenda.”
