**Exposed: New Jersey Dem Dodges Citizens on Transgender Athlete Voting Record**
In a concerning display of political evasion, New Jersey Democratic gubernatorial candidate Mikie Sherrill has come under fire for her inconsistent stance on the contentious issue of transgender athletes in women’s sports.
Recent reporting revealed that Sherrill dodged repeated inquiries about her voting record that directly contradicts her claims of supporting female athletes.
She has voted against the Protection of Women and Girls in Sports Act on two occasions—once in 2023 and again in February 2025—essentially turning her back on a critical piece of legislation aimed at safeguarding fairness in women’s sports.
In stark contrast, she has co-sponsored the Equality Act and publicly championed the Transgender Bill of Rights, aligning herself with radical policies that undermine women's rights at the expense of biological realities.
Former President Donald Trump, whose influence remains significant, spotlighted Sherrill’s dubious voting record, stating on Truth Social that she supports “Open Borders, men playing in Women’s Sports, and all of the things that almost DESTROYED America.” His comments underscore a growing frustration among Republicans regarding Democrats’ embrace of policies seen as harmful to the integrity of women’s sports.
Polling data confirms that Sherrill's views are out of touch with the electorate. A recent New York Times/Ipsos survey revealed that a staggering 79% of Americans oppose allowing biological males to compete against female athletes. Even among Democrats, 67% share this perspective, highlighting a disconnect between Sherrill’s radical positions and the desires of her constituents.
In New Jersey, the stakes are further emphasized by the high-profile case of transgender athlete Sadie Schreiner, who has fought legal battles after being barred from competing as a woman. Schreiner’s experience resonates widely, with parents and advocates increasingly rallying for a return to fairness in sports.
Republican Jack Ciattarelli has seized on Sherrill's record, framing her as someone who prioritizes radical leftist ideologies over the protection of young women athletes. He emphasizes that her decisions reflect a troubling trend among Democrats to prioritize inclusivity over the fundamental rights of female athletes.
The ongoing debate has sparked outrage among parents, coaches, and athletes alike, who see Sherrill’s record as a direct assault on girls’ sports. As the gubernatorial race heats up, it remains clear that New Jersey voters will demand answers, holding candidates accountable not just for what they say, but for what they do.
In this critical election cycle, it is imperative that citizens remain vigilant and informed about the true intentions of their leaders. The response from the Republican Party and candidates like Ciattarelli indicates a rising tide of unified opposition to anti-female policies, positioning them as champions of fairness in the sporting arena.
