A Message from Congresswoman Sherrill

Thank you to everyone who nominated a person in their life from NJ-11 to be a 2023 Hero!

Each year, my office and I receive so many incredible submissions for our yearly Heroes program. This year is no different. I am so moved by the amazing people through our district making a difference in the lives of others. There was an outpouring of submissions from the community and Heroes were selected based on the information provided by the individual that nominated them.

This year’s list of 25 amazing heroes includes teachers, community leaders, volunteers, healthcare providers, caregivers, and more. All are inspiring citizens whose stories should warm everyone’s heart this holiday season. It is programs like this one that exemplify why I am proud to represent New Jersey’s 11th Congressional District. Thank you to everyone who participated in this year’s program by nominating a hero in their life.
