Sherrill Certifies 2024 Presidential Election, Marks Fourth Anniversary of January 6th

WASHINGTON, DC — Representative Mikie Sherrill (NJ-11) released the following statement regarding the certification of the 2024 Presidential Election and marking the fourth anniversary of the January 6th Insurrection.

“As I drove into Newark early this morning to catch the train to Washington to certify the election, I saw a sign quoting President Reagan that reads, ‘America is too great for small dreams.’

“I then arrived at the Capitol and was greeted by the U.S. Capitol Police — the same men and women who protected me on January 6th four years ago. Some of their colleagues lost their lives that day, and all faced unspeakable trauma. I am so grateful for people like them who unflinchingly protect this country.

“And I then sat through the roll call of states as the Vice President herself performed her constitutional duty and certified the election for her opponent, Donald Trump.

“I know there are some who might denigrate that — who would rather take up arms than respect the votes of their fellow countrymen when they disagree. I am not one of them. Today, I was incredibly proud to do my duty and take the next step in rebuilding and protecting our mighty democracy, and delivering on the incredible promise of our great nation.”
