On Tuesday, Mar. 5, Representative of the 11th District of New Jersey, Mikie Sherrill, visited the Sparta High School MRC for a Q & A session open to Spartans. Seats were limited, as the session took place during one class period. Sherrill fielded a myriad of questions regarding multiple issues such as gun control, Planned Parenthood, renewable energy, and even her experience as a former student of the Naval Academy and member of the United States Navy. The session was also live-streamed, so students from Sparta Middle School were able to submit questions the high schoolers could present on their behalf. Following the Q & A, students had the opportunity to speak with Sherrill personally and get their picture taken with her.
A member of the “pink wave,” Sherrill recently made both state and national history as the first female representative of New Jersey’s 11th district, following her predecessor Rodney Frelinghuysen. New Jersey’s 11th district consists of parts of Sussex, Morris, Essex, and Passaic counties.
