Mikie Sherrill, the U.S. Congress member representing New Jersey's 11th district, shared her thoughts on various issues on social media across the first days of April 2025. Covering topics from autism awareness to criticism of national policies, Sherrill's tweets reflect her positions and ongoing efforts within Congress.

On April 2, 2025, Sherrill recognized World Autism Awareness Day, noting the contributions of New Jersey residents with autism. In her post, Sherrill stated, "New Jerseyans with autism make incredible contributions to our community. In Congress, I have been proud to support efforts to expand access to job training, independent housing, affordable health care, and resources to support families so."

The following day, April 3, 2025, Sherrill addressed the impact of tariffs imposed by Donald Trump. She commented in a tweet, "Trump's tariffs are one of the largest tax hikes in U.S. history. Make no mistake — families across New Jersey will have to pay far more at the grocery store, gas station, and car dealership, while Trump gives massive handouts to his billionaire friends."

On April 4, 2025, Sherrill discussed the state of the nation in a climate she described as a crisis. Her tweet mentioned the importance of participation in democracy, "I won’t sugarcoat it: our country is in crisis. But, democracy is about showing up and making your voice heard. Thank you to all of the New Jerseyans who joined me tonight for a town hall on how we can work together to fight back against Donald Trump and Elon Musk. I am."
