Representative Mikie Sherrill (NJ-11) released the following statement after voting NO on the Republican Price Hike Bill:

“Today, I voted no on the Republican Price Hike Bill. This cruel piece of legislation will kick hundreds of thousands of New Jerseyans off their healthcare and raise costs for even more, cut food assistance for working families, and increase the cost of utilities and mortgages. At the same time, they are funneling New Jersey’s hard-earned tax dollars to Trump’s billionaire friends and donors.

“Our country is built on the promise of the American Dream — that this country provides opportunity for everyone. This bill is ripping apart the very foundation of that dream by giving handouts to the richest Americans while making working families pay the price. As billionaires line their pockets, children will go hungry, seniors will not be able to access health care, and New Jerseyans will see their monthly bills go up.

“Once again, I’m disgusted, yet not surprised, that my Washington Republican colleagues could not find the courage to stand up and do what is right by the American people.”
