Sherrill was born in Alexandria, Virginia.[2] She grew up in various locations along the East Coast of the United States due to her father's job.[2][8]
Inspired by her grandfather who served as a pilot in World War II, Sherrill wanted to be a pilot from a young age.[11] She was among the flight school graduates in the first class of women eligible for direct assignment to fly combat aircraft.[12] After graduation from the Naval Academy in 1994, Sherrill completed over a year of flight training, was designated as a Naval Aviator after graduation from the advanced rotary-wing training pipeline at NAS Whiting Field, Florida, and became a U.S. Navy helicopter pilot flying the H-3 Sea King.[2] Sherrill flew missions throughout Europe and in the Middle East.[8][11] In 2000, she was based at Naval Air Station Corpus Christi, Texas.
Following her first operational sea duty assignment in a flying squadron, Sherrill was a Russian policy officer assigned to the then-Headquarters, Commander-in-Chief, U.S. Naval Forces Europe (CINCUSNAVEUR).[2][13]
Sherrill served on active duty in the United States Navy for nine years, the final five in the rank of Lieutenant.[14] In 2003 Sherrill was nominated for promotion to the rank of Lieutenant Commander.[15] She left the Navy in 2003 before obtaining a permanent promotion to the rank of Lieutenant Commander.[16][failed verification]
Law career
In the summer of 2007, while earning her Juris Doctor degree from Georgetown University Law Center, Sherrill was a summer associate at Kirkland & Ellis.[17] After graduation from Georgetown University Law Center, Sherrill returned to Kirkland & Ellis's New York City office, where she worked in the litigation department from 2008 to 2011.[18]
On May 11, 2017, Sherrill launched her campaign for New Jersey's 11th congressional district in the United States House of Representatives.[21][22] The seat had been held by 12-term Republican incumbent Rodney Frelinghuysen, the chairman of the House Appropriations Committee, who in January 2018 announced he would not seek reelection.[10][23][24] The district had long been considered a Republican stronghold, even after it had been made slightly more Democratic on paper by pushing it further into Essex County, including a slice of Montclair around Sherrill's home. Frelinghuysen had been reelected three more times from this redrawn district without serious difficulty, but was thought to be vulnerable after Donald Trump carried it by just a single point in 2016.[25]
In June 2018, Sherrill won the Democratic primary with 77% of the vote, beating social worker and entrepreneur Tamara Harris.[31][32][33]
Sherrill raised $2.8 million during the primary election, placing her among the top House fundraisers in the country.[34][35] Her campaign raised $1.9 million in the second quarter of 2018, setting a record for a House candidate from New Jersey in one quarter.[36]
On November 6, Sherrill defeated Republican Jay Webber with 56.8% of the vote to Webber's 42.1%.[37][38] The election marked the largest partisan vote share swing in the 2018 cycle, with a 33-percentage-point swing from a 19-point Republican margin in 2016 to a 15-point Democratic one in 2018.[39][40] Sherrill is the first Democrat to win this seat since 16-term incumbent Joseph Minish was defeated in 1984 after the district had been redrawn to be more Republican.[41] She was the first Democrat since Minish's defeat to win more than 40% of the district's vote.
Sherrill had a closer contest for reelection in 2020, defeating Republican tax lawyer Rosemary Becchi with 53.3% of the vote to 46.7%. That year Joe Biden became the first Democratic presidential candidate to win the 11th district since it assumed its present configuration in 1984, carrying the district with 52.7% of the vote.[42][43]
With redistricting following the 2020 census, the 11th District became somewhat friendlier for Sherrill. It was pushed further into Essex County while losing its share of heavily Republican Sussex County. Had the district existed in 2020, Biden would have carried it with 58 percent of the vote.[44] Sherrill won by a much wider margin than 2020, defeating Republican Paul DeGroot with 59% of the vote to 40.2%.[45]
Tenure
Following her election, Sherrill joined the moderate New Democrat Coalition, the second-largest Democratic caucus in the House, and was named its freshman whip.[46] She also joined the Blue Dog Coalition, a caucus of moderate and conservative House Democrats, but later left the group in 2023.[47] She joined two other female veterans in the Democratic freshman class, fellow Naval Academy graduate Elaine Luria and former Air Force officer Chrissy Houlahan.
Per a promise to her constituents, Sherrill did not vote for Nancy Pelosi to retake the speakership, instead voting for Cheri Bustos of Illinois.[48] She voted "present", essentially an abstention, in her second Speakership vote.[49]
In 2019, Sherrill initially opposed exploring the first impeachment of President Donald Trump, but she changed her mind in September after a whistleblower alleged that Trump pressured Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to investigate Joe Biden.[50] According to one report, Sherrill was instrumental in motivating House speaker Nancy Pelosi to proceed with the impeachment inquiry and said her "grave concerns" about Trump's behavior were "rooted in self-sacrifice and principle".[51] An op-ed she co-wrote with six other freshman Democrats with national security backgrounds—Houlahan, Luria, Gil Cisneros, Jason Crow, Elissa Slotkin and Abigail Spanberger—said that "everything we do harks back to our oaths to defend the country" and described the claims against Trump as "a threat to all we have sworn to protect".[52]
Sherrill indicated her support for a second impeachment of Trump after the 2021 United States Capitol attack.[53] She said she had seen some colleagues giving what she called "reconnaissance tours" of the building the day before the attack.[54][55][56]
According to FiveThirtyEight, Sherrill has voted with Biden 92.6% of the time in the 118th Congress through 2023, while Democrats in Congress voted with Biden 93% of the time on average.[58]
On February 1, 2023, Sherrill was among twelve Democrats to vote for a resolution to end COVID-19 national emergency.[59][60]
On July 9, 2024, Sherrill became the seventh House member to publicly request President Biden step aside as the presumptive Democratic nominee for the 2024 United States presidential election.[62]
