Parsippany, NJ – Rep. Mikie Sherrill is facing sharp criticism from Republican challenger Jack Ciattarelli, who blasted the congresswoman for missing votes, avoiding debates, and cancelling appearances while collecting a taxpayer-funded salary.
In a statement posted to social media, Ciattarelli accused Sherrill of being “missing in action,” saying she has skipped more than half her congressional votes this year, backed out of veterans’ events, and repeatedly declined press interviews.
According to Congress.gov, from July 21st to September 17th, Sherrill skipped every House vote. It was only after being called out by Ciattarelli on the campaign trail that Sherrill returned to D.C. to vote on bills last week, after returning from her California donor lobbying trip.
“Mikie is MIA,” Ciattarelli wrote. “Cancelling public appearances, dodging the press, refusing debates, and skipping more than half her congressional votes… all while cashing the taxpayer paycheck.”

The criticism comes as Sherrill traveled to California last week for high-dollar fundraisers with Democratic donors, including contributors who previously supported the unsuccessful 2024 presidential campaign of Kamala Harris.
