Vice President Joe Biden Endorses Congresswoman Mikie Sherrill

West Caldwell, NJ — Former Vice President and Democratic Presidential Nominee Joe Biden has endorsed Congresswoman Mikie Sherrill (NJ-11) for re-election.

“Mikie Sherrill has served our country throughout her entire career, leading the fight to keep us safe at home and abroad. In Congress, Mikie led the charge to reverse this Administration’s reckless agenda that capped SALT deductions and raised taxes on hardworking New Jerseyans across the state — and she’s just getting started. I’m proud to endorse Mikie Sherrill’s re-election,” said Vice President Biden.

“I am deeply honored to receive the endorsement of Vice President Biden. I share his commitment to service and echo his call for compassion over division. He understands the importance of leaders in Congress who will get the pandemic under control, rebuild our economy, and support families struggling under the weight of this crisis. With 40 days until November 3rd, we will work tirelessly to share that message with New Jerseyans,” said Congresswoman Sherrill.

Rep. Sherrill received the Vice President’s endorsement in 2018 during her first race to represent NJ-11 and he keynoted her fall campaign launch at Montclair State University. Biden cited Sherrill’s history of service in the Navy and commitment to standing up for the middle class as reasons to send her to Washington.

Sherrill was elected in 2018, after running on a platform of affordable healthcare, investments in infrastructure, and a fair tax system. During her first term in office, she has kept her promises. She played an important role in crafting the bipartisan Lower Drug Costs Now Act of 2019 (H.R. 3), ensuring a $10 billion investment in cancer research was included in the final bill that passed in the House. Sherrill helped secure $248 million for the Portal Bridge Replacement Project. She also led on the bipartisan Restoring Tax Fairness for States and Localities Act that passed in the House to lift the SALT cap that is stifling New Jersey families. Throughout the pandemic, Sherrill has worked tirelessly to get PPE to our essential workers, funding to our hospitals, and relief for small businesses, voting for both the HEROES Act and CARES Act.
