Mikie Sherrill, a U.S. Congress member representing New Jersey's 11th district, has been active on social media recently, addressing issues related to national safety and legislation. Sherrill replaced Rodney Frelinghuysen in 2019 and continues to represent her district.

On March 13, 2025, Sherrill expressed concern over staffing decisions affecting the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). She stated that "Trump and Musk are firing FAA staff — including those in critical air safety roles — and it’s putting pilots, crews, and travelers at risk." She further mentioned joining forces with Rep. Menendez to urge Trump's Department of Transportation to address the air traffic controller shortage.

The following day, March 14, 2025, she extended greetings for a cultural celebration. Sherrill tweeted "Happy Holi, New Jersey! I hope all who celebrate have a joyous Festival of Colors spent with friends and family."

Later on March 14, 2025, Sherrill called for action against a proposed resolution. In her words: "I urge Senate Democrats to vote NO on Republicans’ continuing resolution." She criticized the bill for not safeguarding essential programs such as Social Security and Medicare while also jeopardizing veterans' health care and disaster relief services.
