Mikie Sherrill, a member of the U.S. Congress representing New Jersey’s 11th District, utilized her social media platform to address pressing issues publicly. Born in Alexandria, Virginia, and currently residing in Montclair, Sherrill succeeded Rodney Frelinghuysen in Congress in 2019. Recently, she communicated through a series of tweets touching upon topics ranging from economic concerns to educational opportunities and public engagement.

On April 5, 2025, Sherrill addressed responses from a recent town hall meeting in New Jersey. She voiced concerns heard from constituents about tariffs. In her tweet, she stated, "At my town hall last night I heard a lot of concerns about tariffs and what they mean for hardworking families here in New Jersey. Let’s be very clear about what the President is doing: he’s enacting the largest tax hike on American families since the 1960s."

On April 7, 2025, Sherrill announced a forthcoming event focusing on military educational opportunities. She tweeted, "Registration is now open for our Military Service Academies Information Forum! Join my team and graduates of our nation’s Service Academies and ROTC programs to learn about life as a student, as well as the application and nomination process. RSVP at the link here:"

Later on the same day, Sherrill encouraged public engagement and persistence in civic activities through social media. She acknowledged prevailing societal fatigue and remarked, "I know that a lot of us are tired. I know that a lot of us had thought we had succeeded. But don’t check out. Because we have the power of the people."
