My office will be accepting submissions for this year’s Congressional Art Competition from today through April 10th, 2025. I look forward to celebrating all of our young artists’ hard work."

In a tweet dated March 12, 2025, she expressed her disapproval of a resolution put forth by House Republicans. She stated: "Today, I voted NO on House Republicans’ continuing resolution that fails to rein in Elon Musk — an unelected billionaire — while jeopardizing access to critical programs, such as health care for veterans and disaster relief in the wake of extreme storms."

Additionally, on March 12, 2025, Sherrill shared her efforts to reintroduce legislation recognizing the contributions of the Donut Dollies during the Vietnam War. "This week I reintroduced legislation that would award a Congressional Gold Medal to the Donut Dollies to honor their service on the frontlines of the Vietnam War. For too long, their heroism, bravery, and sacrifices have gone unrecognized."
