Sherrill Statement on

Trump-Webber Fundraiser

Fairfield, NJ — Following the announcement of a fundraiser next week for Assemblyman Jay Webber headlined by President Donald Trump, U.S. Navy veteran and former federal prosecutor Mikie Sherrill released the following statement:

“This is what partisanship looks like in its purest form, and Assemblyman Webber is once again telegraphing to the people of this community that he will always put Washington interests over serving the people of New Jersey. In one breath, he says he will stand up for our state, yet in the next, he embraces policies and politicians that hurt New Jersey time and again. He holds rallies with Speaker Paul Ryan, the architect of the SALT deduction cap, and fundraises with Senator Tom Cotton who voted against Superstorm Sandy aid, flood insurance, and is out of touch with New Jersey values.”

“New leadership requires standing up for more than party, and Assemblyman Webber is either unwilling or unable to move beyond his long history of putting his own partisan agenda before the needs of the people of New Jersey.”
