Congresswoman Mikie Sherrill proudly represents New Jersey’s 11th Congressional District.
After graduating from the United States Naval Academy in 1994, Congresswoman Sherrill spent almost 10 years on active duty in the United States Navy. She flew missions throughout Europe and the Middle East as a Sea King helicopter pilot, worked on the Battle Watch Floor in the European Theater during the Iraq invasion, and served as a Flag Aide to the Deputy Commander in Chief of the U.S. Atlantic Fleet. Congresswoman Sherrill also served as a Russian policy officer and worked on the implementation of our nuclear treaty obligations and oversaw the relationship between the U.S. Navy and Russian Federation Navy.
Article 1, Section 2 of the Constitution requires a count of the population every ten years. The Census is used to apportion seats in the U.S. House of Representatives and for the allocation of billions of dollars to states, municipalities, and residents. For New Jerseyans, that means funding for everything from infrastructure projects, to hospitals, to schools.
The Census only takes 10 minutes to complete and will ensure New Jersey gets a fair return on our federal tax dollars. Fill out the Census today and get counted.
