Sherrill’s Missed House Votes Top 145 as New Jersey Governor’s Race Tightens

Opponents spotlight the absences heading into early voting, with her team citing work on New Jersey priorities.

Overview

  • House records show she has skipped 145 votes this year, or 53% of measures, the highest total in the chamber; the next most absent member has 83.
  • Trackers from PolitiFact and the New Jersey Globe count her missing about 55% of votes since she launched her gubernatorial bid on Nov. 18, 2024.
  • The Ciattarelli campaign says she missed 87% of votes in a recent three-month span, and GovTrack data shows her missed-vote rate rising from 56% in April–June to 64% in July–September.
  • Sherrill’s team says she is focused on New Jersey priorities such as the Gateway Tunnel Project and faults Trump’s stance on the project, without directly addressing the missed votes.
  • A Fox News poll last week showed Sherrill leading Republican Jack Ciattarelli 48%–44%, with early in-person voting set for Oct. 25–Nov. 2 and Election Day on Nov. 4.
