About Mikie Sherrill:
Sherrill, a former member of Congress, federal prosecutor and Navy helicopter pilot, succeeds Phil Murphy, ushering in a third term in a row of Democrats helming the state — a feat that had not been achieved for six decades. Sherrill and her running mate, Dale Caldwell, had a blowout victory in November as Democrats up and down the ballot across the country secured wins due in large part to voters’ frustrations with the first year of President Donald Trump’s return to the White House, particularly the rising cost of living.

Retired, living in the Scottish Borders after living most of my life in cities in England. I can now indulge my interest in all aspects of living close to nature in a wild landscape. I live on what was once the Iapetus Ocean which took millions of years to travel from the Southern Hemisphere to here in the Northern Hemisphere. That set me thinking and questioning and seeking answers.
