Becchi: Sherrill Using Pandemic for Political Gain

Parsippany, NJ – Rosemary Becchi, Republican candidate for New Jersey’s 11th congressional district, criticized Mikie Sherrill for politicizing the pandemic in order to get re-elected.

“After Mikie Sherrill and Nancy Pelosi blocked small businesses from accessing over $130 billion in unspent PPP loans, they refused to work with Republicans to pass much needed stimulus,” said Becchi. “It’s been 210 days since the CARES Act was signed into law. Instead of helping New Jersey Families that are hurting and need more help, Mikie Sherrill and Nancy Pelosi have chosen to play political games to try win elections.  They are more interested in marijuana support, money for illegal immigrants, defunding the police, ballot harvesting, and releasing violent criminals from prison.”

Becchi continued: “Now with 2 weeks before the election, Mikie Sherrill introduces legislation in response to New Jersey’s horrendous handling of long-term care facilities. Why wasn’t this an issue for her months ago when thousands of our seniors were dying? Where was she when nearly 200 people died at two New Jersey Veteran Nursing homes?”

“Voters should see this for what it is – an election year stunt in an attempt to gain votes. The people of New Jersey deserve someone who works for them, not someone who works to gain the approval of limousine liberals in California, like Nancy Pelosi.” Becchi concluded.
