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.
The following Community Projects are those being submitted by Representative Mikie Sherrill on behalf of New Jersey's 11th Congressional District. In this extremely competitive process, Rep. Sherrill was only able to submit 15 project requests out of the dozens received. Those requests must be for state or local governments, government-adjacent organizations, and nonprofits only. Final decisions on which projects ultimately receive funding will be made by the House Committee on Appropriations later this year and must be passed through the Fiscal Year 2023 Congressional budget process.
