PARSIPPANY, NJ — Rep. Mikie Sherrill, who represents New Jersey’s 11th Congressional District, took the oath of office Monday. She joins the 117th Congress for her second term.
“It’s an incredible honor to once again be sworn in and to continue my service to the 11th District,” Rep. Sherrill said in a news release. “I have high hopes for 2021 as we see the light at the end of the tunnel for COVID and ensure that people have a secure future in the aftermath of this horrible pandemic. I stand ready to work with my colleagues and the new administration to serve North Jersey and get us to the other side of this crisis.”
Sherrill was among the list of Democratic candidates endorsed by former President Barack Obama in her bid for reelection last year.
