This extensive plan focuses on easing the spoiled financial burden on New Jersey’s working families, forcefully protecting consumer rights, and boosting small business growth, solidifying her commitment to the economic well-being of the state.
Sherrill, a former Navy helicopter pilot and federal prosecutor, recently endured a major privacy breach when her military records were mistakenly released by the National Archives to an associate of her Republican opponent, Jack Ciattarelli.
